<nettime-ann> private view invitation - Jewish - Polish project |
.
Hello, I hope you are
well. Please feel
invited to the private view of the Locomotive project at Belsize
Square Synagogue. The address of the Synagogue
is: 51 Belsize Square, London, NW3 4HX. The private view will take place
on 16 of May 2011 between 7-9pm. The pinhole photography
exhibition takes place at the Belsize Square Synagogue in London on
the 14th April - 17th May 2011. It is a retrospective
selection of works produced during the Locomotive project by Click Academy in
which artists Marta Kotlarska, Olga Głazik and Anna Udowicka collaborated
with young Polish and Jewish people
living in London. The Locomotive project was dedicated to commemorate and
celebrate common Polish and Jewish heritage. The history of the Jews in Poland dates back over a millennium.
Poland was home to the largest and most significant Jewish community in Europe
and served as the centre for their culture, starting from a long period of
religious tolerance and prosperity among the country's Jewish population. The
Jewish cultural scene was particularly vibrant in pre-World War II Poland with
numerous Jewish publications and over 116 periodicals. The Jewish authors of
the period, among them Julian Tuwim, made important contributions to Polish
literature and in Poland, generations of children have read the classic Tuwim's
children's poem "Locomotive". The Polish and Jewish young people worked together and created
illustrations to a children's poem, Locomotive by Polish-Jewish writer, Julian
Tuwim, with illustrations inspired by the Chanukah celebration using the
technique of pinhole photography. The exhibition will also
reveal a new project that Click Academy is working on which is based
on the notion of the moving image. To arrange to see the exhibition
contact the Synagogue office at 0207 794 39 49. The Synagogue is open between
Monday and Thursday between 10-4pm and on Fridays 10-2pm. The address of the
Synagogue is: 51 Belsize Square, London, NW3 4HX. The private view will take place on 16 of May 2011 between
7-9pm during which the synagogue will open its doors to all public
visitors. The exhibition
was financially supported by Polish Cultural Institute. The illustrations were
kindly printed by AdDesign Studio in London. Belsize Square
Synagogue was founded in 1939 by a group of refugees from Central Europe mainly
from Germany. It is an independent synagogue - neither orthodox nor reform and
it occupy its own place in British Jewry. Traditional yet modern, its
story after 70 remarkable years is still unfolding. Akademia Pstryk
/ Click Academy (www.ClickAcademy.co.uk) is an art group using pinhole
photography as a means of social change through empowering communities. Since
2004 we have been working with young people from ethnic minority groups, to
address the issues they face. With my very
best wishes Marta
