‘POMEGRANATE’ AT JEWISH MUSEUM MARCH 9

AVV 2-23 #729998

NEW YORK CITY — The Jewish Museum will present the exhibition “Pomegranate: A Video By Ori Gersht,” on view March 9–June 22.

Referencing a still life by Sixteenth Century Spanish artist Juan Sánchez Cotán, Ori Gersht’s eerie and painterly video features a ripe pomegranate dangling from a string and framed with other freshly harvested produce in a window. In slow motion a bullet slices through the fruit — a food symbolic of the Bible, Jewish law, and Near Eastern culture — spraying blood-red seeds and flesh in the air.
