Tear/Repair (kriah/ichooi) by Andi Arnovitz

In Tear/Repair (kriah/ichooi), Hadassah-Brandeis Institute Artist-in-Residence Andi Arnovitz creates a new body of work, a series of paper coats for Jewish women who have impacted history and changed the world. These coats are an extension of Arnovitz's "Garments of Faith" series, which also will be on view. Each of these garments, fabricated from torn or intact papers, scrolls, and book pages, represents injustices for Jewish women. The works address challenges throughout history to the present, from halachic and spiritual issues, to those of co-existence, and above all, issues related to gender.

The 2010 HBI Artist-in-Residence Program is made possible thanks to the generous support of Avoda Arts, Arnee and Walter Winshall, and the Schusterman Center for Israel Studies at Brandeis University.
