Sharon Lockhart - Noa Eshkol January 19, 2013

The Jewish Museum presents 'Sharon Lockhart - Noa Eshkol,' the East Coast premiere of Sharon Lockhart's latest body of work. In this exhibition, co-organized by the Los Angeles Museum of Art (LACMA) and The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, Lockhart engages the legacy of Noa Eshkol, the Israeli dance composer, theorist, and textile artist who created an innovative notation system that describes virtually every perceptible movement of the body. Conceived by Lockhart as a two-person exhibition, 'Sharon Lockhart - Noa Eshkol' consists of a new, large-scale, five-channel film installation, series of photographs and architectural interventions by Lockhart, and a selection of Eshkol's carpets, scores, and archival drawings.
