Sabbath: The 2017 Dorothy Saxe Invitational
The Dorothy Saxe Invitational is The CJM鈥檚 longest-running commitment; endowed in Dorothy鈥檚 name by her late husband George Saxe, the Invitational asks artists to make work that relates to selected Jewish ritual objects. For 2017, the eleventh iteration of the series, we have for only the second time commissioned works inspired by a Jewish idea, that of the Sabbath. Fifty-seven artists are showing three-dimensional work displayed on shelves and pedestals, filling the gallery with colorful and surprising forms.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Inviting fifty-seven artists to comment on Sabbath鈥攖he day of rest鈥攇ives the diverse group an opportunity to examine the depth of the fourth commandment, its influences, and its universality. A pillar of many religions and a staple of the modern workweek, the ideas in the Sabbath are integral to how time is viewed.
Continuing the Invitational鈥檚 commitment to the art of craft, each work will be three-dimensional, with artists exploring the theme through a wide range of materials such as ceramic, wood, and glass. The works of art are displayed both on shelves and under vitrines on pedestals, filling the gallery with colorful and surprising forms.
