Not to be Missed!

I just returned from an extraordinary exhibit at the DePaul University Art Museum. There are 3 installations by 80 year old Gerda Meyer Bernstein.Exercise In Futility
Domestic Surveilance

I struggle between making images that are grounded in beauty and images that speak to my indignation with the state of the world. I was awe inspired by Gerda Meyer Bernstein's ability to address the difficult question of how individuals could respond to violence, disaster, and injustice. Her work is truly amazing....Please, if you are in the vicinity, visit the exhibit before it closes on August 29th. Listen to a segment by National Public Radio reviewing Gerda Meyer Bernstein's work here.
