Ghiora Aharoni’s work blends the traditional and the modern. His intricate metal and glass sculptures, material studies and pieces showcasing the marriage of seemingly discordant cultures provoke dialogue and test the notion of various constructed dualities. For instance, his piece currently on display at the Asia Society Triennial in New York – Thank God for Making Me a Woman, III – challenges patriarchal notions of gender and religion. He does so by combining the piece’s titular phrase in both Hindu and Urdu into Hindru©, and likewise, Hebrabic©, an amalgamation of Hebrew and Arabic.
Join us for a New York studio visit with the artist himself, where he will give us a tour and discuss some of his recent works. Moderating this event will be Aurelia Rauch, Senior Art Consultant at Bergos.
