The Contemporary Jewish Museum curators Renny Pritikin and Lily Siegel are joined by catalog essayist Dodie Bellamy and Rabbi Peretz Wolf-Prusan to discuss The CJM’s new exhibition, "Night Begins the Day: Rethinking Space, Time, and Beauty."
Taking the title from the biblical concept that, “the day goes after the night,” (Gen 1:5) at the time of creation, "Night Begins the Day" is an exhibition featuring the work of twenty-seven artists, scientists, and creative thinkers that, in this current moment of expansion through scientific development, look at three aspects of contemporary art that can be seen as emerging from the historic precedent of the sublime: technological innovation; new understandings of time; and new expressions of awe and fear that have emerged from contemporary irony and cultural critique.
Featured artists/contributors include Peter Alexander, Lisa K. Blatt, Peter Dreher, Moira Dryer, Institute For Figuring, Masood Kamandy, Robert Kooima, Michael Light, Josiah McElheny, and Fred Tomaselli.
Program curated by Natalia Miller.
