Ever Present: Candles and Chance in the Art of Samuel Bak
On view January 22, 2022 – January 2, 2023 in the Janet Kohn and Larry Wasser Galleries on the Second Floor
The exhibition focuses on two recent series Ner Ot and the Art of Chance, produced by Holocaust survivor and artist Samuel Bak. The title of the former, Ner Ot, is presented as two words. In Hebrew the word ner means candle and nerot means candles (plural). When divided into two words, ot alone means symbol. In this series, Bak uses the candle as a symbol to examine the memory of the Holocaust. Dice is used as an icon of chance in the other series featured in this exhibition. Bak repeats the form of dice throughout these works to question the idea of chance in relationship to the Holocaust and his survival as well as to the human condition.
