Common Ground: Contemporary Landscapes from Israel and Ohio

July 29 through October 16, 1999

Curated by Nella Cassouto, independent curator, Jerusalem, Israel and David Johnson, chief curator at the Taft Museum in Cincinnati, Common Ground juxtaposes the work of six Ohio and six Israeli artists whose common interest is landscape. The exhibition illustrates the pluralistic nature of contemporary art and emphasizes the interaction of imagination and materials as the central experience of late-20th century artists. In the Riffe Center, across from the Statehouse on High Street in downtown Columbus. Admission is free. Call 614/644-9624 for more information.
