SHIUR in the gallery: WALKING BLINDLY INTO SHADOWS
May 29, 2025 | New york | kaliner GALLERY
How can art reveal new insights into ancient texts and narrative? How can text based discourse create a new con-text to appreciate visual arts? In the post-October 7 world how can we re-connect and re-evaluate concepts, themes, spaces, materials, and other content that may signficantly help us in responding to the rapidly changing paradigms?
Join us for an intimate evening of music and text based discourse amongst the art of MaryKate Maher with SHIUR founder Micki Weinberg. We will be drawing on texts from theory & philosophy, Kabbalah, literature and more through a non-dogmatic lens.
Wine and snacks will be served. Live jazz and original music performance.
The exhibition Walking Blindly into Shadows is grounded in ideas of mapping the intangible—how we chart spaces that are not fixed or fully visible. The title itself evokes a paradox: a shadow or void is both a thing and a non-thing, simultaneously present and elusive.
The SHIUR in the Gallery series is held in concert with SHIUR gatherings in Berlin, Tel Aviv, London, Paris, New York, and Miami where people of all backgrounds come together through text-based discourse at art spaces; thinking together, reading together, developing ideas and experiences together.
