SUMMARY:Holocaust Remembrance Day. Exhibition and Film Screening.
DESCRIPTION:Screening of the documentary film The Lost Brothers\, Israel.\nAn exhibition of graphic art\, photographs\, and wood inlay work.\nArtworks by Alexander Gassel\, Andrey Gagarin\, and Mikhail Faktorovich. \nArt About the Holocaust \nAlexander Gassel is a Russian-American artist and designer. Blending the avant-garde with traditional Russian iconography and combining ancient symbols with contemporary subjects\, Gassel creates surrealist works that reflect his cultural heritage alongside his experience of life in America. \nAlexander Gassel uses ancient techniques employed in the creation of icon paintings. He paints with egg yolk tempera\, making his own color pigments by grinding natural stones and minerals\, such as malachite\, cinnabar\, or lapis into powder\, which he then mixes with egg yolk. The artist often applies gold or silver leaf on the paintings. Blending the avant-garde with traditional Russian iconography\, combining ancient symbols with contemporary subjects\, Gassel creates surrealist works that reflect his cultural heritage alongside his experience of life in America. \nLearn more about Alexander Gassel and his works at https://alexandergassel.com \nAndrey Gagarin \nI am a 74-year-old psychiatrist with no formal photographic education\, but I have been making photographs since the age of twelve. My work arises from observation rather than instruction — from standing still\, listening\, and looking carefully at the world in front of me. \nThe image of Birkenau was taken six years ago using infrared optics. I chose infrared not for effect\, but because it reveals what ordinary sight cannot: the quiet trace of time\, the way memory lingers in light long after people have disappeared. For me\, this photograph is not a document of a place\, but an encounter with history — a way of seeing underlying presence and absence at the same moment. \nPhotography\, like psychiatry\, is an act of attention. It asks you to stay\, to witness\, and to hold what is often difficult to hold. This is what I try to do with my images. \nMichael Farro (Mikhail Faktorovich) — Marquetry \nhttps://michaelfarro.art \nMichael Farro was born in Bobruisk\, Belarus. He studied at MIIT in Moscow and earned a Ph.D. in Economics. Michael works as a computer programmer and has taught computer science at Boston University. In parallel with his technical career\, he pursues marquetry — creating narrative wood veneer panels that explore memory\, history\, and human experience. He lives in Massachusetts with his wife.
