Cupcakes, Art, Hadassah!

Join the Arlington-Lexington Chapter of Hadassah for its Final Meeting of 2011-2012 & Installation of our 2012-2013 Board of Officers Thursday, May 17, 2012 Program at 7 PM followed by Installation and Light Refreshments Location: Kniznick Gallery, Epstein Building, 515 South St., Brandeis University, Waltham. The Hadassah Brandeis Institute welcomes the Arlington-Lexington Chapter of Hadassah to view & experience Sarah Zell Young's exhibition Occupy Sanhedrin. Ms. Young, HBI's 4th annual Artist-in-Residence, examines roles—both religious and secular—for Jewish women from the Second Temple to the present and explores how bodies can become hazarded in the pursuit of justice. In addition to photographs, the exhibition features a large, site-specific installation—an interactive and participatory rendition of a Sanhedrin (rabbinic court). By granting access to an historical space of justice—making it physical—Young invites viewers to engage with traditional ideas of the judiciary and understand them in a new way, personalizing their own relationship to history. We will be privileged to hear the Gallery Director, Michele L'Heureux, and the artist, Sarah Zell Young speak about the exhibit and Ms. Young's work. Sarah Young received her BFA in Sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design and is studying toward her MFA in Combined Media from Hunter College, New York. We will toast our incoming officers with Cupcake Wars--Hadassah style.
