The first virtual exhibition presented by the Derfner, “F11” refers to the function key that opens full screen viewing in internet browsers. In the Covid-era when art spaces are closed or at limited capacity, online exhibitions have become ubiquitous but often showcase works that exist as objects in the real world. “F11” inverts this practice: It features digital paintings best viewed on-screen. On view April 11-August 8, 2021.
This exhibition features prints from the collection that date from the early 20th century through the mid-1970s by 16 artists. Mostly emigres from Eastern Europe to other parts of the world and depicting traditional Jewish life, many were part of important 20th century art movements during a period of rapid social, political and cultural change. On view February 23–May 10, 2020.
May 5–August 25, 2019
This exhibition explores the intersections of Jewish history and memory with the stories of traditional objects interpreted in light of the role memory plays in shaping both individual and communal identities. Ongoing.
September 17, 2017–January 7, 2018
