Three exhibitions

Mana Contemporary, Jersey City

Nobuyoshi Araki

The self-titled show in Mana’s first-floor gallery will feature more than 150 of Araki's works selected from a distinguished private collection, as well as a unique installation of 500 Polaroids. Arguably Japan's greatest living photographer—and certainly its most controversial—Araki's work is charged with intense sexuality. Known best for his intimate, snapshot style images of women in bondage (also known as kinbaku, the Japanese art of erotic rope-tying), Araki is an artist who reacts strongly to his emotions and uses photography to express them more fully.

Obsession

On Mana Contemporary’s 1st and 6th floors, in collaboration with the Eileen S. Kaminsky Family Foundation, Obsession delves into the minds of five passionate collectors of contemporary art. Guided by internal forces, collectors, much like artists, are drawn toward a certain aesthetic. Whether in pursuit of style, medium, or conceptual thread, collectors play an instrumental role in the life cycle of art, helping to propel the careers of artists they ardently believe in.

The exhibition features selected works from the collections of Eileen S. Kaminsky, Gary Lichtenstein, Ysabel Pinyol, Steve Hanson and Micha Ziprkowski. From the seductive encased tar paintings of Daniel Turner to the intricate patchwork of Tom Fruin's City Map, each collection is presented in a unique space and curated to evoke the collector's taste and distinct practices.

Voices from the Interior

The Middle East Center for the Arts (MECA) will present films by six women artists, all members of the Palestinian minority living in Israel. The works reveal the multiple layers and complexities of the artists’ identities. Questions of nationalism, culture, and geography are prominent as the artists’ reflect on being ethnic and religious minorities in a Jewish state. But beyond the politics, the artists address issues of gender and womanhood, both within the Palestinian community in Israel as well as the larger Arab world.
