show & tell: the art of giving

Opens April 25, 2013

6505 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, 90048

 

“We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” ― Winston Churchill

 

This year the theme of the Zimmer’s show & tell exhibit is the “art of giving.”  For 9 years, a community of artists and humanitarians have been giving to show & tell. They give sculpture, paintings, photographs, mixed media masterpieces, and they give of themselves. These artists give generously and enthusiastically each year, donating art to benefit the Zimmer’s youth development program, youTHink.

Cathy Weiss and Karen Frimkess Wolff: DOING PENNANTS @Fifth Floor Gallery
Start Date: 12, Jan 2013
End Date: 25, Feb 2013

 

 

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

using any material and subject matter of their choice. These flags will be collectively strung in banner style

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

JEWISH RITUAL: Rethinking, Renewed
Start Date: 13, Dec 2012
End Date: 6, Mar 2013

 

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.

Caesura > Annenberg Community Beach House, Santa Monica
Start Date: 8, Nov 2012
End Date: 8, Feb 2013

 

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.
 

Curated by JAI Artist, Maya Lujan
