Inspired by the holiday of Sukkot, a Jewish holiday celebrating the harvest, The Contemporary Jewish Museum has built its own sukkah (meaning "booth" or "hut") for gathering and community building in its Koret Taube Grand Lobby. Six local artists will each inhabit the Sukkah Studio as an open studio for one day between October 14-20, providing an inviting space for the artists to share their practice with visitors and work with interested people to make something together.
On Thursday, October 17, artist Miriam Dym offers a look at what it means to be an artist who works with systems. Currently, Dym is working with the visual patterning system that emerged from a textile design process. She recently expanded this into a new form, as an interactive, non-competitive communication game played with custom rubber stamps and a very large piece of paper. Visitors are invited to join in.
Miriam Dym's work has been exhibited widely, including at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Weatherspoon Museum, the Oakland Museum of California, SFMOMA, and The Contemporary Jewish Museum.
