Courts Exhibition at The Art Shelter Gallery, Jerusalem
Dorit Jordan Dotan, Shai Azoulay, Hadass Shereshevsky, Ronen Simantov, Motta Brim, Reuven Zukerman will show at the Courts Exhibition in Jerusalem, curated by Pnina Frank and Noa Lea Cohn.
Opening Event October 27 at 8 pm
Gallery Talk November 24 at 8 pm with artists and Albert Swiss, author and art critic.
The exhibition will be open from October 18 – November 24 at The Jerusalem Art Shelter Gallery, located in the Haredi neighborhood of Makor Baruch, Jerusalem. It’s goal is twofold: to give a platform to religious Jewish artists who won’t show in galleries open on Shabbat or next to works that they can’t invite their families to see, and to show fine art by observant and non observant artists whose work would not offend Haredi sensibilities but could resonate and create a bridge.
Dorit Jordan Dotan – Women’s Section
This show, Jerusalem Courts, is a citywide initiative by the Italian Cultural Center, Jerusalem. A “Court” can be interpreted in countless ways. The Art Shelter gallery, because of its uniqueness as the only gallery of it’s kind, will highlight widely different artistic interpretations, but all in the realm of religious courts.
Dorit Jordan Dotan, multidisciplinary artist, was born in 1961, in Haifa, Israel. Jordan-Dotan has recently relocated to Chicago, where she lives and works.
For the past twenty years, she has run her own independent graphic design studio.
Most of her clients have been non-profit Israeli-Palestinian organizations active in the areas of peace, co-existence, women’s issues and human rights. She has created an impressive body of mixed media fine art images and photographs, including architectural, textural and urban genres.
Directly through her modern interpretations, the art she has been creating in recent years has increasingly brought Ms. Jordan Dotan closer to the substance of Judaism.
She has created a wide variety of hand-painted ketubot, incorporating ancient and modern designs.
Ms. Jordan Dotan is currently acting as guest curator at the Lubeznik Center for the Arts, Michigan City, Indiana for an upcoming 2017 exhibition.
