Please allow me to draw your attention to the event below, that will be happening in conjunction with the Vancouver Jewish Writers Festival. It is a rather unusual event of a fusion between the visual and the literary arts. I hope this will be of interest to you.
Thank you,
Pnina Granirer
A visual artist combines images and words in exhibition documenting her new memoir.
“The hackneyed phrase that ‘an image is worth one thousand words’ may well be true, but along with my paintings, now I need those thousand words to tell my stories.“ –Pnina Granirer
Granirer has lived and worked in Vancouver for 52 years. Her works have been showed and collected locally, nationally & internationally.
November 16 6 pm. Book Launch and talk
7 – 9 pm. Exhibition Opening Reception
SIDNEY AND GERTRUDE ZACK GALLERY, 950 W. 41 Ave., Vancouver
www.jccgv.com, 604-257-5111
I will host an Open Studio visit in conjunction with the exhibition on Monday, November 27, 2:30 – 4 pm. To register please email pninagra@gmail.com.
This exhibition is a celebration of Pnina Granirer’s new memoir; it follows the written words, becoming a small retrospective with works featured in the book. Drawings, wood engravings and watercolours from her life in Jerusalem, Illinois, Montreal and Vancouver that have never been shown before, will give the viewer a deeper understanding of her beginnings as an artist. This unusual fusion of the visual and the literary arts will provide an intimate insight into the creative process of an artist’s personal journey of dislocation, immigration and the uprooted soul’s wish for permanency and belonging.
The evening begins at 6 pm. with an illustrated talk on the creative process of writing, with references to the art hanging on the walls, which are the reason for and the backbone of Light within the Shadows.
