Institute of Visual Arts: Women of the Book

Exhibition closes October 19, 2008
Books, especially scripture and scriptural commentary, have always been central to Jewish life and culture; so much so that Jews are often called a “people of the book.” The book is a powerful medium and a symbolic form, and it is through the conduit of Jewish regard for the book that the centrality of this medium has become integral to the fabric of Western civilization. Women of the Book explores this centrality by pairing two Jewish artists from opposite ends of the western hemisphere who deal with issues of the book: Mirta Kupferminc, an internationally-recognized printmaker and book and installation artist from Argentina, and Shirah Rachel Apple, a Milwaukee mixed-media and installation artist who has also worked in the book form. The exhibition places special emphasis on Kupferminc’s exquisitely produced artist’s book Borges and the Kabbalah: Paths to the Word [Borges y la Cábala: senderos del verbo], which includes 29 original etchings and aquatints. Currently, UWM is the only institution in the U.S. to hold this work. Apple will be represented by work that is informed by books and words; she is also creating site-specific work that responds not only to Kupferminc’s prints and bookwork, but also to the Zelazo Center’s historic function as the long-time home of Milwaukee’s Congregation Emanu-El. Curated by Max Yela, Head of Special Collections, UWM Libraries.

Free screening of Red Persimmons, a Milwaukee premiere.

Red Persimmons (Manzan Benigaki) * Milwaukee premiere!
(Shinsuke Ogawa with Xiaolian Peng , Japan, in Japanese w/ Eng st. 90 min.,16mm, 2001)
This remarkably beautiful film documents the growing, drying, peeling and packaging of persimmons in the tiny Japanese village of Kaminoyama. The inhabitants explain that it is the perfect combination of earth, wind and rain that makes their village's persimmons superior to those grown anywhere else, including the village just a few miles away. While depicting the disappearance of Japan's traditional culture and the end of a centuries-old way of life, “Red Persimmons is ultimately about human gestures, the ritual movements that not only contain centuries of tradition but also reflect restless human inventiveness.” --Dave Kehr, New York Times
Preceded by Works and Days (Hollis Frampton, 11 min, 16mm, 1968).
