American Artist Featured at Galicia Museum

August 28, 2008

The Galicia Jewish Museum in Krakow is currently hosting the show Where the Past Meets the Future by Boston artist Fay Grajower. The installation is comprised over 100 mixed media wooden “boxes”, each standing alone as an individual painting of a story, place, object or stone of memory, and together forming a mosaic wall, showing a revived world steeped in its past and looking towards its future.  Ms. Grajower is a descendant of a Jewish family from Krakow, and her exhibition was inspired by photographs and stories from pre-war Galicia. The show will be at Galicia Jewish Museum until October, and then it will travel around Poland.
