Description:
|
| The Hadassah-Brandeis Institute (HBI) at Brandeis University will host its inaugural artist-in-residence, Lynne Avadenka. Lynne Avadenka’s site-specific installation “A Thousand and One Inventions” will boldly transform the Kniznick Gallery’s unique architecture into a work of art. Painting, drawing and assemblage will create an environment that opens up and reveals layers visually, as a book does conceptually. “A Thousand and One Inventions” expands on the themes in Avadenka’s limited edition artist’s book, “By A Thread.” Created in 2004 with a grant from the HBI, the book imagines a conversation between Queen Esther, the heroine of Purim, and Scheherazade, the teller of a thousand and one tales. Both women spoke up when they could have remained silent, and saved many lives through their fortitude. |
