Tikkun: For the Cosmos, the Community, and Ourselves presents works by more than twenty-five Bay Area-based contemporary artists reflecting on the Jewish concept of tikkun (Hebrew for "to repair"). In a moment of collective challenges and uncertainty, this exhibition re-examines the term tikkun as a phenomenon of care and interconnectedness that is grounded in personal action, environmental responsibility, and community, unfixed from its evolving meanings throughout history. Taken together, the works in this exhibition consider how the concept of tikkun can help us look critically both inward and outward, guide us through change, and build resilience for the ongoing work of repair.
Continuing the tradition of the Dorothy Saxe Invitational at The Contemporary Jewish Museum (The CJM), all artworks on view in this exhibition are for sale. Proceeds will benefit the artists and The CJM's mission and exhibition programming.
Now in its twelfth iteration, the Dorothy Saxe Invitational is The CJM's longest-running commitment. Endowed in Dorothy's name by her late husband George Saxe, the Invitational asks artists to make work that relates to a selected Jewish idea, cultural practice, or ritual object.
