TRANSPORT – WORKS BY HENK PANDER AND ESTHER PODEMSKI

Opening Reception
Oregon Jewish Museum
Wednesday, January 18th, 2012
5:30 – 7:30pm

In ‘Transport – Works by Henk Pander and Esther Podemski’, the artists use World War LL as the backdrop from which to explore the remembered realities of wartime. Dutch born Pander’s work delves into the world of his difficult and dangerous childhood. Podemski grew up in Portland listening to her father’s tales of surviving ghettos, concentration camps, and a daring post-war escape. Both artists root their connection to the past in childhood memories and family connections. Pander and Podemski explore complex relationships – between time and memory and truth and the subjectivity of the mind – with intellectual rigor and brilliant rendering.
