Fifth Floor Gallery is pleased to present Doing Pennants. This group show of artist-made flags brings together over 100 contributors
from Los Angeles and beyond to celebrate the pennant. Each artist was assigned to create one triangular flag

throughout Fifth Floor Gallery to honor the carnivalesque heraldry of this ubiquitous free-flying form.
Participants include JAI artists: Cathy Weiss and Karen Frimkess Wolff

Rituals, like art, give meaning to life. Judaism is steeped in rituals and traditions. Over time some rituals have evolved or changed to reflect our need to renew, rethink and recreate traditions that have been passed down between generations or have existed through our history. The challenge is finding the right balance between the historical roots of a longstanding ritual and the introduction of contemporary interpretations into the ritual.
This exhibition, from the Jewish Artists Initiative, is a reflection of the many facets of Jewish rituals and holidays. It is a melding of the rituals that infuse every aspect of living a Jewish life. These works will evoke memories of growing up, of stories told over and over in families.

Bill Aron, Elizabeth Bloom, Carol Es, Benny Ferdman, Carol Goldmark,
Laurie Gross, Marcie Kaufman, Eileen Levinson, Victor Raphael, Doni Silver Simons,

Caesura is a pause or gesture used to emphasize the formal metrical construction of a line.
The works of JAI Artists, Doni Silver Simons and Melinda Smith Altshuler deal seriously with painterly
and sculptural issues in the realm of Caesura, or the in-between something formal or structural.
This is the tendency to make abstractions, or formations between spaces,
either through concept or material.
