About This Exhibition
“Masks had been a central theme in my work for more than a decade when the events of 2020 rattled our country. Maybe it was the sense of instability, but my total lack of creative response was quite puzzling. Patiently, I waited and, with time and perspective, ideas began bubbling to the surface, resulting in his body of work… This work is about our current state of vulnerability, the subconscious, and the corners of ourselves, individually and collectively, that exist in darkness.”

About This Exhibition
For this exhibition, artist Henry Isaacs has been collaborating with writer/performer Lucy Winner. Using art, text and performance the two illuminate two lives of Prague and Vienna under Nazi occupation, 1939-1942. Isaacs paints the world of his cousin, artist Emil Singer. Winner reads and responds to letters from her grandmother, Franziska Wienerova. Emil and Franziska were deported and died within two weeks of each other (April and May 1942). The exhibition will search for their voices and allow us to ask questions about their lives and our own.
