Through paintings, costume and set designs, posters, photographs, film clips and theater ephemera this exhibition will bring to light an exhilarating but fleeting moment in the cultural history of the Soviet Union when innovative visual artists joined forces with avant-garde playwrights, actors, and theatrical producers.

Special Exhibition

Pomegranate: A Video by Ori Gersht

March 09, 2008 - August 21, 2008
< back | Introduction
Referencing a still life by 16th century Spanish artist Juan Sánchez Cotán, Ori Gersht’s eerie and painterly video features a ripe pomegranate dangling from a string and framed with other freshly harvested produce in a window. In slow motion a bullet slices through the fruit—a food symbolic of Bible, Jewish law, and Near Eastern culture—spraying blood-red seeds and flesh in the air.

Presented in conjunction with artis: Israeli Contemporary Art in New York
