Laura Kruger at the Hebrew Union College Museum
Laura Kruger has done an extraordinary job for the Jewish people. Through vision, determination and discrimination she has in the past 24 years carefully nurtured the struggling prospect of contemporary Jewish Art. For most of that time she has stood alone among curators and Jewish museums, providing an often singular forum for emerging contemporary Jewish visual culture. While the battle is far from over, she has established a veritable beachhead of exhibitions that, taken together, make it impossible for any rational person to question the vitality of Jewish visual creativity today.
