SLEEPER ART EVENTS:
Here are a couple of great gallery shows that are ending this weekend. Catch them before Sunday if you can.
Wanderlust: These digital video stills by Leora Laor are surreal scenes of everyday people in Jerusalem's main public park and in Mea Shearim, the city's ultra-Orthodox religious neighborhood. Wanderland is Laor's creation, conveying a dual meaning in name and image. Wander concerns human wandering and the wandering Jew, in contradistinction to the word land that signifies permanence. Counter to this stands the magic wand held by the artist.Although the photographs are reminiscent of 19th century Realist and Impressionist styles, they are very much products of 21st century technology. After capturing the image from a great distance Laor enlarges the pixels to a point where the picture plane is close to being deconstructed; the predominant color of the image is then intensified, often evoking that color's corresponding mood.
