The Light Thread. The Dark Thread.

Exhibition
16 July – 10 September 2010

Time spent with the Bedouins of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, suggested the theme of artist Anna Kipervaser’s July exhibit at the Jerusalem Fund Gallery “the light thread. the dark thread.” refers to the Quran’s instruction about Ramadan, “You may eat and drink until the white thread of light becomes distinguishable from the dark thread of night at dawn.”  Cutting and painting her wood panels to form the shapes of her paintings, the artist interprets “the place where inbetweenness is everything, where opposites are indistinguishable, where they are one.”

*Anna is also working with an international team to document the muezzins of Cairo through a multi-media project entitled Voices and Faces of the Adhan: Cairo, a documentary film, audio archive, multi-media library and art installation project about the Muslim call to prayer in Cairo.  Visitors to the light thread. the dark thread, can see footage from the upcoming film at the Jerusalem Fund Gallery.
