“In 1934, two young artists drove from Los Angeles in a beat-up car to Mexico to create a powerful artwork about repression. It was concealed — and then forgotten.” — Victoria Burnett, The New York Times. Read about the recent restoration of a mural created by artists Philip Guston and Reuben Kadish in the Arts Section of?the New York Times. The mural, which appears as a large-scale reproduction at the heart of the current Jewish Museum exhibition?"Draw Them In, Paint Them Out: Trenton Doyle Hancock Confronts Philip Guston," is titled?"The Struggle Against Terrorism"?and is a reflection on persecution and resistance, standing as a testament to the enduring power of art in times of turmoil, a central theme in the exhibition. ?

Now on view—“Ilit Azoulay: Mere Things” ? This exhibition offers a window into the work of interdisciplinary artist Ilit Azoulay, spanning the past 14 years. Initially trained as a photographer, the artist (pictured in the first image) has developed a multimedia practice that remains deeply rooted in her primary medium. “Mere Things” features large scale digital photocollages of archival objects that explore how images and objects transmit knowledge, shape memory, and support or undermine historical narratives, as well as a new work that responds to the collections and context of the Jewish Museum and selections from the series “Queendom” (2022), first presented as part of Azoulay’s solo exhibition for the Israeli Pavilion at the 59th Venice Biennale in 2022.
