Contemporary Jewish Museum presents Days of "Transfer and Exchange"

This special interactive program, an essential part of Mierle Laderman Ukeles’s vision for her installation for the exhibition In the Beginning: Artists Respond to Genesis (through January 4, 2009), reflects the artist’s view that art is a public collaboration between the artist and the visitor. Visitors will have a chance to remove a mirror from the installation, and put in its place a "covenant,” in which the visitor promises to do works of goodwill after leaving the Museum. As a reminder of this promise, each visitor will take home one of the handmade mirrors made exclusively for this installation.
