VOICES & VISIONS Caren Helene Rudman The Art Center Highland Park
In light of recent events of gun violence in Highland Park, this year's Voices & Visions,Standing on the Bridge Between Health and Disease will be looking at our biennial exhibition under a new lens. The exhibition reflects our ability to persevere and in 2022, we come together as a community to seek the power of art on healing and hope.
With each Voices & Visions, we celebrate and acknowledge the amazing artist and community member, Jackie Sabath whose spirit and strength shone throughout her life. With the Sabath family, The Jackie Sabath Exhibition Fund has been created to carry on her legacy by helping TAC’s future exhibitions, social awareness, and educational outreach.
"TAC is proud to present the most recent work by Ellen Sandor & (art)n. The collaboration with curator/artist Caren Helene Rudman called, “A Burst of Hope,” uses Rudman’s Previving Series imagery after undergoing lifesaving surgeries as a result of her inherited affliction with the BRCA-Gene. Ellen Sandor & (art)n juxtaposes the layers of texture with the scientific sculptural renderings of CRISPR allowing the viewer to enter through this short film into a journey of strength, beauty, and HOPE."
