SHIUR in the gallery new york: A new beginning/nostos

nov 13, 2025 | kaliner gallery | 7pm

Join us for an intimate evening of music and text based discourse amongst the art of Kim Uchiyama with SHIUR founder @MickiWeinberg and @yoniweinberg. We will be drawing on texts from theory & philosophy, Kabbalah, literature and more through a non-dogmatic lens. 

“The exhibition’s title, NOSTOS, is Greek for “return” or “homecoming”. Inspired by a resent rereading of Homer’s The Odyssey, the artist is re-envisioning points of departure and points of return—the outward movement and circling back of the journey as a form of narrative structure. A story within a story, concentric and digressive, yet always returning to its origin. In the NOSTOS exhibition, Uchiyama’s work with color brings back color not only as a subject but the method of arrival.”

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-post War situation how can we re-connect and re-evaluate concepts, themes, spaces, materials, and other content that may significantly help us in responding to the rapidly changing paradigms?

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.
