    About the Artists

    Jackie Gendel

    Jackie Gendel is an artist and writer whose work moves between research, image-making, and public conversation. In New York City, she appears at The Jewish Museum as part of the live program “Writers and Artists Respon…,” where her contribution is shaped for an audience in real time.

    Arlene Shechet

    Arlene Shechet is an American sculptor known for her inventive, gravity-defying arrangements and experimental use of diverse materials. Critics describe her work as both technical and intuitive, hybrid and polymorphous, freely mixing surfaces, finishes, styles and references to create visual paradoxes.
