Inside the Jewish Museum’s Unorthodox: A Talk and Tour

This November, the Jewish Museum will present Unorthodox, a large-scale group exhibition featuring over 50 contemporary artists from around the world whose practices mix forms and genres without concern for artistic conventions.

Though the artists in Unorthodox come from a wide variety of backgrounds and generations, they are united in their spirit of independence and individuality. Their iconoclastic works examine social and political values, religion and humanism, trauma and identity, and explore the relationship between the human figure and the modern creative process. Exhibition curators Daniel S. Palmer and Kelly Taxter explain their process and introduce the artists and their work here at 92Y, then we will walk over to the Jewish Museum where Jens Hoffmann, Deputy Director, Exhibitions and Public Programs, leads a tour of the exhibition at the Jewish Museum.

Unorthodox is organized by Jens Hoffmann, Deputy Director, Exhibitions and Public Programs, Daniel S. Palmer, Leon Levy Assistant Curator, and Kelly Taxter, Assistant Curator and will be on view at the Jewish Museum from November 6, 2015 to March 27, 2016.

This event is part of a series of programs that will take place both at the Jewish Museum and at 92nd Street Y in conjunction with the exhibition Unorthodox. The accompanying public programs—which also include “Unorthodox Exhibitions” (November 2015 ), “Unorthodox Artists” (November 2015) and “Unorthodox Museums” (March 2016)—investigate the same notion of defying cultural and artistic uniformity.
