10 Elaine Reichek: A Postcolonial Kinderhood Revisited opening August 23, 2013 In 1993 the Jewish Museum commissioned Elaine Reichek to create an installation that explored her personal identity. Reimagining her childhood bedroom, Reichek displayed her first-generation Jewish American parents efforts to assimilate in the American mainstream through colonial-style furnishings. A Postcolonial Kinderhood, installed in 1994, probed the fears and embarrassments real or imagined that still prevailed among many American Jews and is one of the earliest major works to confront the paradoxes of American Jewish identity. In this reinstallation the artist has added several components, including video and needlework. More > Upcoming Exhibitions view all > Chagall: Love, War, and Exile opening September 15, 2013 For the first time in the United States, artwork by Chagall from the 1930s and 1940s will be gathered to reveal a lesser-known side of the artist. Beginning with the richly evocative paintings of his years in France, the exhibition illuminates an artist deeply responsive to the suffering inflicted by war and to his own exile and personal losses. By the late 1940s, Chagall returns to colorful, joy-filled work celebrating love. The exhibition will include approximately 35 paintings and 25 works on paper, as well as selected letters, poems, photos, and ephemera.

So to speak A Museum Collection in Dialogue with Barbara Bloom closing August 4, 2013 Dozens of Torah pointers are arrayed inside a piano, their fingers tinkling the keys. Nearby, someone describes a tennis match between composers George Gershwin and Arnold Schoenberg. With a light touch and subtle wit, artist Barbara Bloom imagines the museum as a home populated with furniture and filled with historic guests deep in conversation. She presents a selection of over 270 pieces from our collection in surprising juxtapositions with written passages and furniture-like cases. These tableaux evoke questions about time, history, memory, thought, and relationships and offer new ways to experience ceremonial, decorative, and fine art. More > Six Things: Sagmeister & Walsh closing August 4, 2013 The designers Stefan Sagmeister and Jessica Walsh are known for their experimental typography and striking visual imagery. Six Things marks the first exhibition of their newly founded design firm, Sagmeister & Walsh. In five short films and a sound-activated sculpture, the studio investigates six things, culled from Sagmeister s diary, that he believes have increased his personal happiness. More >
