New York, NY - Yishay Garbasz '04 in Exhibition

Saturday, February 18, 2012 - Saturday, March 24, 2012
31 Mercer Street

Yishay (Yisha) Garbasz '04 is one of 13 artists participating in Have We Met Before?" Ronald Feldman Gallery brings together several generations of artists working in sculpture, video, photography, and mixed-media who explore the complex connection between body and self-identity.

Several of the thirteen artists directly alter their bodies to address issues of gender. In her work Becoming (2008-2010), Yishay Garbasz chronicles the changes in her body before and after “gender clarification surgery.” In Eat Me Damien (2010), Garbasz displays her formaldehyde protected testicles removed during surgery. A video and photographs from Garbasz’s The Numbers Project (2011) reveal the artist using branding irons to sear her mother’s tattooed Auschwitz identification number into her own arm, thereby passing a fading memory from mother to daughter. Other artists use drag and ambiguity to confront the rigidity of society’s concepts of gender. Other works are a response to involuntary physical changes that have greatly altered lives or nature.

The opening reception will be held February 18 from 6-8 p,. Gallery hours are Tuesday - Saturday, 10 - 6, Monday by appointment.

The West Coast Black Theatre Troupe (wbttroupe.org) in Sarasota, Florida will be presenting Sherman Yellen's newly revised musical Blackbird, for which he worte the libretto and lyrics with music by the late composer Wally Harper. This show will run from April 18 to May 13, 2012 as part of a celebration of the lives of iconic black entertainers. Blackbird explores the early life of Josephine Baker in the Jim Crow South, covering her impoverished teenaged years dancing in the streets of East St. Louis, to black vaudeville, on to her life in Harlem at the Cotton Club, and finally her success in Paris in 1925. This show, which originally played under the titled Josephine Tonight! was hailed by the Chicago Sun Times as "a musical express of ballads, blues and gospel, all etched within a framework of pop and soul. This is a musical that has hit written all over it."
