Intersctions: Reading the Space features Iranian, American and Australian artists
Add to CalendarIntersections: Reading the Space
Three women—reflecting three different religions, using different media, working on different continents—use text to explore the possibility of change and exchange in a new exhibition at The Contemporary Jewish Museum
ONLY U.S. VENUE
Three media, three women, three religions, three continents. Over the course of one year, a length of cloth made three trips around the world to the studios of Australian artist Irene Barberis, Iranian-born Parastou Forouhar, now living in exile in Germany, and American artist Jane Logemann. All three women use abstractions of religious text and language as both theme and medium in their work. With no rules or limits, each woman worked on the cloth in turn, negotiating individual and cultural differences and exploring the possibilities of change and exchange. The result of this artistic dialogue, The Joint Work, is the centerpiece of a new art exhibition Intersections: Reading the Space on view in its only U.S. venue at The Contemporary Jewish Museum October 23, 2005 through February 26, 2006. The exhibition also features works by the individual artists who share an interest in challenging issues of patriarchal faiths through the voices of women. The collection of individual works features non-linguistic images from text, allowing audiences to “read the space” whether the alphabets used are familiar or not.
