Additional information about Intersections: Reading the Space: Three
media, three women, three religions, three continents. Over the
course of one year, a length of cloth made three trips around the
world to the studios of Australian artist Irene Barberis, Iranian-
born Parastou Forouhar, now living in exile in Germany, and American
artist Jane Logemann. All three women use abstractions of religious
text and language as both theme and medium in their work. With no
rules or limits, each woman worked on the cloth in turn, negotiating
individual and cultural differences and exploring the possibilities
of change and exchange. The result of this artistic dialogue, The
Joint Work, is the centerpiece of a new art exhibition Intersections:
Reading the Space on view in its only U.S. venue at The Contemporary
Jewish Museum October 23, 2005 through February 26, 2006. The
exhibition also features works by the individual artists who share an
interest in challenging issues of patriarchal faiths through the
voices of women. The collection of individual works features non-
linguistic images from text, allowing audiences to "read the space"
whether the alphabets used are familiar or not.
