Faculty of Art professor named artist in residence at Tanenbaum Centre

 

Wednesday, November 4, 2015 - 3:45pm

Faculty of Art professor and visual artist Simon Glass has been named the 2015/2016 artist in residence at University of Toronto’s Anne Tanenbaum Centre for Jewish Studies. His work is on view through to the end of April 2016 (Room 318, 170 St. George St., Toronto).

The exhibition includes nine pieces from 1996 to 2015. They include archival and original photographic imagery, combined with biblical, prophetic and liturgical Hebrew. “The pieces in my exhibition address Jewish history of the 20th century, as well as loss and translation,” explains Glass. “I am delighted to be the artist in residence, and I look forward to the opportunity to share my work in an exchange with the Jewish academic community in Toronto.”

Glass will deliver an artist’s talk at the Tanenbaum Centre on November 12 at 12 p.m. All are welcome to attend and admission is free.
