Join the museum in celebrating KulturfestNYC, an international festival of Jewish performing arts and a historic event celebrating the extraordinary contribution and impact of Jewish culture on the world.<\/p>\n

Families with children ages 4\u201312 are invited to participate in a special and free family event. Participants will study the work of collection artist Harry Lieberman and consider\u00a0his themes and stylistic choices. Then, families will create their own Lieberman-inspired narrative works of art.<\/p>\n

Lieberman was born in the small Polish shtetl, or Jewish village, of Gniewosz\u00f3w, in the area of eastern Europe known as the Pale of Settlement. In 1906 Lieberman immigrated to the United States, one of the many thousands of Jews fleeing the hardships and violence of Jewish life in Russian Poland. In New York City he adopted a largely secular lifestyle, working first in the textile trade and then operating a candy store on the Lower East Side with his wife, Sophie, until they retired in 1950. In 1956, after a revelation while visiting Machpela,\u00a0Lieberman started to paint vivid and dynamic narratives drawn primarily from Jewish history, religion, lore, and literature, although some works express his views on contemporary issues. The artist wrote texts in Yiddish and attached them to the backs of his paintings.<\/p>\n

A book launch for the\u00a0publication\u00a0When The Curtain Never Comes Down: Performance Art and the Alter Ego<\/em>\u00a0will\u00a0precede the interview and performance.\u00a0Artist Lonnie Holley, exhibition curator Val\u00e9rie Rousseau, and other\u00a0contributors to the publication\u00a0will be present to sign copies post-performance. Doors will open at\u00a06:30 pm<\/span><\/span>. To pre-order the book, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since 1979, Lonnie Holley has devoted his life to the practice of improvisational creativity. His art has manifested in drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, performance, and sound. Holley’s music and lyrics are improvised on the spot and morph and evolve with every event, concert, and recording. In 2012, Holley released his first album,\u00a0Just Before Music<\/em>, on the label Dust-to-Digital. In early 2014, Holley recorded with Richard Swift, acclaimed musician and producer, at the studio National Freedom in Cottage Grove, Oregon.<\/p>\n

When the Curtain Never Comes Down<\/em><\/a> endeavors to examine the historical implication of the concept of self-taught performance art through many lenses, including the history of art brut. Join performance scholars, contemporary artists, curators, and Dr. Valerie Rousseau, the museum\u2019s curator, self-taught art and art brut, as they explore the range of art, artists, and actions included in the term “performance art\u201d; discuss performance studies as a discipline; and seek to situate self-taught artists within this broad continuum. The conversation will consider, in particular, artists whose work is primarily concerned with issues of identity, transformation, public and private ritual, and employs the use of costumes, masks, and related performances.<\/p>\n

Speakers:<\/strong> Dr. Valerie Rousseau, Professor Karmenlara Ely, and\u00a0Martha Wilson.<\/p>\n

Moderator: <\/b>Professor Barbara Browning, Associate Professor, Performance Studies at the Tisch School of the Arts, New York University<\/p>\n
