Day 9-10, Mural 1: Schechter
Over the last couple days we’ve had two more special guests add to our mural at the Schechter Institute: David Moss and Jamie Shear. Judy Kopelman added another text of her own, and with that the mural is done. Stay tuned for more photos once the scaffold comes down!
Day 8, Mural 1: Schechter
Now that the opening is behind us and Sukkot is over, we’re back at the Schechter Institute to add more layers to our mural there. Painting there today from our team is Lenore Mizrachi. We also have the amazing privilege of three phenomenal calligraphers and designers joining us: Izzy Pludwinski, David Goldstein, and Bentzi Binder.
Mural 17: FALUJA
We have signage! And mounted above the description of the exhibition by the Jerusalem Biennale is a pair of sculptures by Itamar Palogi, a.k.a FALUJA. We don’t have wall labels on the pieces yet, but those are coming soon.
Mural 16: Dan Groover
Let’s not forget the incredible Dan Groover, the OG of Jewish street art, who painted a piece specially for us that now welcomes everyone as they enter the First Station!
Day 7, Mural 15
We weren’t able to get all seven days of creation finished yesterday, so a special secret team-up stopped by Friday morning to work on the Second Day of Creation — sea and sky.
Opening Reception!
With most of the murals complete, we had a blast partying the night away at our opening reception, hosted by the Jerusalem Biennale at the First Station!
Day 6, Mural 14: Judy Kopelman
As the day comes to an end, Judy Kopelman finishes the last piece of the day, the Sixth Day of Creation.
Day 6, Mural 13: Eli Kaplan-Wildmann
Making a guest appearance painting the Fourth Day of Creation — birds and fish — is our trusty co-curator Eli Kaplan-Wildmann. It’s his first mural! Though he’s a fantastic set designer so this really isn’t that unfamiliar to him.
Day 6, Mural 12: Yitzchok Moully
Skipping ahead to Shabbat, the Seventh Day, we have Yitzchok Moully, showing how Shabbat brightens the week.
