Visit Studio M to view "Across the Ashen River," by Ariella Har-Even. Ariella's exhibition investigates the spiritual need for burial and mourning, the repercussions of their absence, and the role of adornment in reactivating memory. She writes, "This exhibition includes some pieces created in dialogue with artworks made in extremis—at the point of death—by artists who were persecuted, displaced, or killed during the Holocaust. Rather than reproducing or reinterpreting them directly, my aim in this exhibition is to focus on the ways in which memory is held, mediated, and reactivated."
Ariella's jewelry is primarily made of enamel, silver, bronze, and copper, but it also includes other materials such as cloth, pine, ceramic, and leather. Images: 1. "Badges," 2022, Enamel on copper, calfskin leather, thread, nickel silver 2. Photograph of the artist
A podcast interview with the artist will be available beginning Tuesday, June 16th, and the exhibition will be on display through June 21st.
