"Urim & Tumim 7", a collaboration by @yona_verwer and @ktklaraaa . Exhibited at "On The Consequences of Hate Speech III", an exhibition curated by Robin Atlas and Nancy Current.
This artwork represents the anti-dote to hate speech: a direct connection with a higher source.
The Urim and Tumim were part of a biblical tool of prophecy known as “The Breastplate of Judgment.” In Biblical times, during war and national crisis, this breastplate was worn and consulted by the Jewish High Priest. Upon meditation, individual letters would sparkle to display prophetic messages: text messages from above. This device can guide us to a more elevated way of living / speaking.
Organized by the @peninsulajcc ; co-sponsored by the Jewish Art Salon.
On view until November 24, 2019.

Carol P. Kunstadt’s SACRED POEM LXXXIX exhibited in “FOCUS: Illumination” at the Woodstock Artists Association & Museum, 28 Tinker Street, Woodstock, NY Reception: Saturday, August 17, 4 - 6 pm.
Artist Talk with juror Joe Concra - Friday, August 16, 5 - 7pm.
August 10 - September 1, 2019. ‘The Sacred Poem Series takes physical, material, and intellectual inspiration from Parish Psalmody, A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Public Worship, 1844 and 1849.
Pages of psalms are manipulated and recombined, resulting in a presentation that evokes an ecumenical offering - poems of praise and gratitude. The aged and fragmented pages of text suggest the temporal quality of our lives and the vulnerability of memory and history. The text serves as a metaphor for the personal, the intimate and the possibilitiy for transcendence. - excerpt from statement by Carole Kunstadt.
