Math Bass: a picture stuck in the mirror
October 16 – March 6 | Henry Art Gallery
Los Angeles-based artist Math Bass (b. 1981, New York, NY) will create a site-specific installation at the Henry Art Gallery featuring a series of recent oil paintings (a new medium for the artist), a kinetic wall work, sculpture, and large-scale wall applications. Immerse yourself in this exciting exhibit inside the galleries and out with an external mural “painting” in vinyl. The exhibition will open in October with a performance by the artist that highlights the relationship of the seen and unseen in the work.

Book Launch: Angels in Ancient Jewish Culture- Mika Ahuvia
October 14, 4:00 – 5:15 PM | Online
Mika Ahuvia’s new book on angels in ancient Jewish culture examines a common element of Jewish practice that is often overlooked or dismissed — angels, the invisible beings who serve as intermediaries, guardians and role models for humans.
In a conversation with author Sigal Samuel, Ahuvia will explain how angels have extended humans’ experience of the divine beyond scriptures and synagogue walls across time, and how related practices — including magical invocations — illustrate the many ways in which people have practiced Judaism and Jewishness throughout history. Learn more about the book.
