Contemporary Art Trends and What This Means for Us

15 Mar
2011

By SUDINmag |

The Armory Show in New York is one of the largest and most prestigious annual exhibitions for contemporary and modern art. Recently, the airy warehouses on piers 44 and 42 on NY’s Hudson River housed galleries from all over the world for this high end display of industry excellence. The industrial space buzzed with excitement presenting the most cutting edge work on the contemporary art scene.

We took a look at the trends that defined this year’s Armory Show to give you the industry ins and outs with insights from our Jewish perspective.

Old City Jewish Art Center (Philadelphia, PA)

By An Art Museum a Week |

On the first Friday of every month, the epicenter of the Philadelphia art scene in Old City plays host to “First Friday”. Many of the superb little galleries in Old City (Philadelphia’s historic section) keep their doors open until 9 PM, welcoming crowds inside for special art exhibits (and maybe even some wine and snacks!).

During the event, the neighborhood abounds with visitors of all ages and types, particularly during the summer months. First Friday is a year-round event, rain or shine, and even though the First Friday in March was a little chilly this year, the crowds came out in full force to experience all kinds of world-class, contemporary art.

Old City, with its stone streets, brick houses, and plentiful historic sites, is unique in its own right. It manages to fuse the old and the new with a dash of swanky nightlife, making the neighborhood quintessentially hip. It’s the perfect place to explore art, and the perfect setting for Old City Jewish Art Center.

Ahron Weiner on the Verge: Bringing “The Flood” to Brooklyn

14 Mar
2011

By Tom Johansmeyer on Luxist |

There were breaks in the rain, but the day ended with small rivers flowing through the gutters in Brooklyn’s DUMBO neighborhood. It was the last day of Armory week in New York City, an event consisting of art fairs all over the city, ranging from colossal reputations and incredible valuations to emerging artists eager for their first tastes of success and notoriety. I was on my way to the Verge show, itself spread out over several locations.

Chossid + Fender

10 Mar
2011

By Yitzchok Moully for the Algemeiner |

There is old school Jewish art; we all know what that looks like – an old man bent over fixing a shoe, or a dark shtetle landscape.

Then there is the new Jewish art; a wave of mostly young artists who grew up in the new world only understanding the shtetle from stories, and want to interact with Jewish art on their terms.

‘Waiting for the Sun’ by Dan Weinstein.

One such artist is Dan Weinstein.

POBE is an alias. It hides the name and identity of one of New York’s most notorious graffiti artists. It obscures definition.

Are We Living in a Golden Age of American Jewish Art?

6 Mar
2011

By Matthew Baigell for the Arty Semite |

Most people do not know that we are living in a golden age of Jewish American art. But, as I will explain in a lecture at the Jewish Museum on March 7, we are.

Siona Benjamin

Since around 1975, there has been an incredible but largely ignored outpouring of art based on the Bible, the Talmud, Kabbalah, the prayer books, and midrash by artists all over the country. Depending on their points of view — feminist, psychological, existential — they approach their subject matter in entirely different, personal ways. Rather than illustrate texts they challenge their subject matter, as well as invent explanations of their own. Their work has little precedent in past Jewish American art, and the artists have leap-frogged back over generations to find their source material directly in the ancient texts. Taking nothing for granted, they have few inhibitions about questioning what they find.
