Institute of Visual Arts: Women of the Book
Tuesday, 10/07/2008

Opening reception: Sunday, September 14, 2-5 pm
Gallery hours: Wednesday-Sunday, 12 noon-5 pm.

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.
