BRUCHIM HABAIM (WELCOME) to the 2nd year of the Milwaukee Jewish Artists' Laboratory!


We have a new topic and several new members who joined last year's cohort, including two young emerging artists. Stay tuned to find out who they are and what we do while we study and work together.

We also welcome the Madison, WI and Minneapolis, MN recently formed Jewish Artists' Laboratories. They will be working with the same topic, and we will have a chance to meet both virtually and in-person. 

OUR TOPIC THIS YEAR IS:

TEXT/CONTEXT/SUBTEXT

TEXT: the original words and form of a written or printed work.

CONTEXT: the parts of a discourse that surround a word or passage and can throw light on its meaning.

SUBTEXT: the implicit or metaphorical meaning [of a text].

The above definitions are the first ones found for each word, on the online version of the Merriam- Webster Dictionary . Of course, if you keep reading or look elsewhere, you will find many variations. How many definitions can you find? How can these be applied to the creation of works of art?
