About the Program
How does a contemporary artist represent the lost history of German-Jewish life? Susan Hiller, a film and video artist, spent three years photographing more than 300 street signs all over Germany whose names refer to a previous Jewish presence. The result, the exhibition The J.Street Project, uses the apparent banality of street names to explore unexpected ways that landscape can memorialize a people's history.
Hiller, who lives in London, will take visitors through the exhibition, explaining both her artistic process and her unique approach to connecting landscape and history. Because there will only be one tour with the artist, it is suggested that visitors reserve space far in advance.
