The aim of artists’ books is not to merely see words on the page, but to think about how the words, pictures, and physical form of the object all contribute to the meaning. Artists’ books assume many forms and have made use of every artistic medium and method of bookmaking. A wide variety of structures and formats are employed, such as traditional codex, unfolding accordion books, pop-ups, fans, and scrolls. The materials used in these works range from handmade and commercially produced papers to nontraditional materials such as found objects, fabric, ceramic, wood, and metal. One of the most compelling exhibitions of artists books is this collection, Women of the Book: Jewish Artists, Jewish Themes.

  • What Would You Do
    World ORT What Would You Do Case Study Booklet We gratefully acknowledge the contribution of Yaffa Fogel in the development of these materials Practice Case Study: ORT after World War I Case Study ORT was first established in the 1880s in St. Petersburg to help the Jews in the Pale of Settlement improve their economic futures. In the first decades of its existence, ORT created schools, language programs, and certifications, and sent much needed equipment to many small Jewish factories throughout the lands of the Russian empire. With the end of World War I in 1918, however, the Russian empire collapsed and a new government emerged amid massive upheaval. This new government introduce policies to enforce strict controls on all independent Russian organizations working throughout the country. ORT lost most of the lands it had been using for training schools. Their deposits in Russian banks disappeared as well. The local Jews, meanwhile, were living in destroyed cities while the world economy was quickly sinking into the Great Depression. The Russian Jewish community did not have the means to finance ORT, and yet they desperately needed the organization’s resources. ORT was looking less and less likely to survive if it was to remain a Russian entity. If you were ORT, what would you do? How could you survive to help the Jews in the Pale of Settlement? Isolate What are the three most important problems in this case study? 1. Local Jews all over Eastern Europe are desperately in need for ORT’s help. 2. The Russian Empire is broken up and ORT has no autonomy under the new Russian government 3.
