Celebrate "Nicki Green: Firmament" with an evening of art, kombucha tasting, and conversation. The first museum solo exhibition by celebrated transdisciplinary Jewish artist Nicki Green, "Firmament" challenges boundaries through artworks that invoke metamorphosis, fermentation, and Jewish ritual. Get a first look at the exhibition, sample Lev's Original Kombucha, explore pickling techniques with Preserved, and hear from the artist and her collaborators about their practice and the works on view.
About the Exhibition
Transdisciplinary artist Nicki Green's first museum solo exhibition delves into questions of identity, transformation, and reinvention of Jewish traditions through new and existing artworks in ceramic, installation, fiber, and more. Inspired by the concept of the firmament-a dividing form referenced in the Torah that separated the earth from the heavens-Green reimagines the gallery space as an environment of welcome and liberation centering trans and nonbinary bodies. Artworks rendered primarily in clay feature motifs that act as metaphors for regeneration, transformation, and resilience-concepts that have informed Jewish thinking and practice for thousands of years. By reclaiming parts of her Jewish upbringing, reinventing functional forms of ceramic objects, and reimagining ways of embracing different genders and sexualities, Green challenges and expands the binary limits of our society.
