The general esthetic of my work has shifted since the previous show. It still speaks about (spiritual?) invisible links among people, generations, people&memories, events, etc… in the collective aloneness we live in which could also become massive oneness and complete wholeness! I’m extremely grateful and honored for the opportunity to show with Miss Rumi Koshino. I would like to express my gratitude and thanks to all my friends and family. Especially to Beth Cullom. I’ll be at the opening. So will the talented Miss Rumi Koshino. Please, come join us if you are in the area! xo

Tamar Nach­many's Yiddish/English Play Debuts!

http://blogs.citypaper.com/index.php/2012/04/hopkins-students-yiddishenglish-play-debuts/

Inspired by the erotic story “Teibele And Hur­mizah” by Isaac Bashe­vis Singer, Johns Hop­kins Uni­ver­sity stu­dent Tamar Nach­many has adapted the story into a play that incor­po­rates a con­gru­ous mix of Eng­lish and Yiddish! The play, with accom­pa­ny­ing music from Charm City Klezmer, will be per­formed on April 13 and 14 at the Arel­lano The­ater at Johns Hop­kins Uni­ver­sity, April 19 at the Jew­ish Museum of Mary­land, and April 21 at the Bell Foundry at 1539 N. Calvert St. (Sta­tion North). The shows will open with Tal­mu­dic standup by the poet Alexan­der Nemser and a short screen­ing of Mugi Takei’s erotic, stop-motion ani­ma­tions.

More infor­ma­tion can be found on the Face­book page; all shows are free!
