The Mystical Voice: Rabbi Zac Kamenetz

Friday, Nov 15, 12:30–1pm

ADMISSION: Free with Museum admission

Poets, Kabbalists, rabbis, and scholars speak about the mystical strain of Judaism, popularly called Kabbalah. This series of short, lunchtime gallery talks is inspired by the work of Annabeth Rosen, whose practice draws on cycles of destruction and creation. This week, Rabbi Zac Kamenetz addresses “The Fullness of Lack” in the Jewish mystical tradition.

Presented in collaboration with HAMAQOM|The Place.

About the Speaker
Rabbi Zac Kamenetz

about the exhibition

Annabeth Rosen: Fired, Broken, Gathered, Heaped is the first major survey of Annabeth Rosen (b. 1957 Brooklyn, NY), Robert Arneson Chair at UC Davis, and 2018 Guggenheim Fellow.

For over two decades, Rosen has interrogated the medium of ceramics in the context of contemporary art. Featuring ceramics and works on paper from over twenty years, this groundbreaking exhibition examines how Rosen’s work radically defies the limits of her primary medium, pushing it beyond spectacle and into conversations about contemporary painting, feminist theory, endurance-based performance, and conceptual art.

Sculpture composed of many colorful fragments of ceramics, bound together.
