HANUKKAH ILLUMINATED : A Book of Days
with Celebrated Guests Ellen Frank and Everett Fox
The Jewish Center of the Hamptons
December 10, 2006, 10 a.m.
9:30 a.m. bagels/coffee, all welcome!
Dramatic Readings Featuring ELLEN FRANK’s Illuminated Art & Professor EVERETT FOX's Texts
Professor Fox, translator of The Schocken Bible and Special Consultant to the film Prince of Egypt, will focus on significant transformations of Jewish holidays, and on how Hanukkah Illuminated can contribute to a startling revival of the holiday as art and text move from darkness to light, from war to peace.
Cities of Peace honors the history and culture of world cities that have experienced major conflict and trauma, including Jerusalem, Baghdad, Kabul, Beijing, Hiroshima, New York and Lhasa. Transforming anguish into beauty, the gold leaf painting series emphasizes understanding as prerequisite to peace. The work is neither violent nor polemic; rather, Cities of Peace directs action through hopeful energy by celebrating the best of the human spirit.
The paintings in this exhibition evoke artistic traditions as diverse as illuminated manuscripts, icons, tapestries, embroidery, architectural mosaics, woodcarvings and metalwork. Mica, bronze powders and many types of gold leaf create multilayered imagery that shimmers and resolves itself into successive scenes of time, place and humankind.
Cities of Peace, under the auspices of the Ellen Frank Illumination Arts Foundation and the Artistic Direction of Ellen Frank, was produced at The Illumination Atelier by international art interns from China, Korea, Colombia, Estonia, Japan, Poland and several states in the U.S. They include: Susan Park, April Yang, Yerina Cha, Margaret Szeto, Catalina Zuniga, Helis Podnek, Holli Michener, Aurora Nessly, Satsuki Uno, Raphael Stoklosa; artists Maria Schon, Sherry Shreiber; and Dominique DeCock.
Cities of Peace premiered at the Laurie M. Tisch Gallery, JCC Manhattan, New York City, November 17, 2005 -- January 13, 2006. This exhibition marked the debut of the work by The Illumination Atelier.
Cities of Peace is available for exhibition, nationally and internationally, to be accompanied by symposia, workshops, lectures and demonstrations. Topics may range from "Techniques of Illumination", "Art as an Instrument for Global Peace and Understanding", "A Woman's Vision: The Making of a Foundation", and more.
