Description

OFF THE RULING CLASS: A MULTIMEDIA INSTALLATION BY NEVET YITZHAK

THROUGH JANUARY 10

Organized by Rose Bouthillier, Associate Curator
Presented by MOCA Cleveland

Gund Commons, Moca Cleveland
11400 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, 44106

Israeli artist Nevet Yitzhak documented the annual conservation of the Cleveland Museum of Art's statue of Auguste Rodin's The Thinker, which was damaged by a bomb in 1970. She has combined the chronicle of the statue's conservation with archival imagery and digital animation to present an abstract and surreal picture of reality, connecting back to the trauma of the 1970 explosion. Yitzhak explores vandalism and terrorism directed at art and the power of icons in secular culture — issues that are extremely relevant in light of the escalated destruction of ancient artifacts and monuments in the Middle East.

Sponsored with support from the Jewish Federation’s Cleveland Israel Arts Connection.
