Tamy Ben-Tor Exhibition
Zach Feuer Gallery
This event has ended.
Concurrently with her exhibition, Ben-Tor will perform Judensau, a new solo, work-in- progress at The Kitchen, 512 W. 19th St., from March 28-29.
Ben-Tor states: “My characters are embodiments of non-existing entities. Sometimes they mirror my mind’s demons and sometimes I watch them unfold before me. I find it necessary to escape into another universe in which I am not myself and language isn’t used to deliver information. Nationalities and races are embodied in language and people’s identities are revealed through speech. The characters I portray are not real. However they are specific. I don’t speak about politics; I use them to invoke feeling just as I speak in different languages in order to reach a nonsensical outcome. This is because it is only through the specific and descriptive that a tension with the abstract can be formed.”
