HEBREWTABERNACLE BULLETIN | 3 The Armin and Estelle Gold Gallery of the Hebrew Tabernacle welcomes MARGARETPEOT JANUARY AND FEBRUARY, 2013 Artist’s Opening Reception MONDAY, JANUARY 7, 2013 7:00 – 8:00 pm (Please note new day and time!)
ARTIST’S STATEMENT I am inYuenced and moved by physical and mythological cosmol- ogy drawings from diVerent times and cultures that reveal diVerent ideas about human beings' thoughts of our own importance in our universe: Heliocentric and geocentric maps, the Babylonian idea of a Yat earth Yoating in inXnite waters of chaos, The Haida myth of the Raven freeing beings in an oyster shell—who became the Xrst humans and populated the earth. This work represents the creation of a mythos by animals, a fantasy about creatures—groundhogs, birds, cephalopods—making images to codify their ideas of how their world was created: publishable and per- manent, full of symbols.
This exhibit will be open to all from January through February, 2013. Please call the synagogue oWce to Xnd out viewing hours for the Gold Gallery; 212-568-8304.
Some paintings may be for sale. Please discuss this with the artist. Hebrew Tabernacle receives a special donation from each purchase. Meet our artist, Monday evening, January 7, 2013 from 7:00 to 8:00 pm.
