SUMMARY:Artist-In-Residence: The Silverlake Independent JCC!
DESCRIPTION:I am thrilled to serve as this year’s Artist-In-Residence at the SILVERLAKE INDEPENDENT JCC!\nI have created an 18 x 30′ tapestry in six panels\, which will be detailed in blog posts.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome to Days of Awesome at SIJCC!\nEach year\, Rosh Hashanah\, Yom Kippur\, and the days in between invite us to reconnect with what matters most. In Jewish tradition\, they are called the Days of Awe. At SIJCC\, we call them the Days of Awesome. The Days of Awesome are a community-rooted invitation to show up just as you are. To reconnect with yourself. To recast belonging. To remember that we are part of something imaginative and courageous. \nCome with questions\, hopes\, hurts. Bring your family\, your friends\, your imagination.\nEverybody-friendly. God-optional.  \nChildcare\, youth programming\, and three communal meals will nourish us along the way.\nSee options below to decide what’s right for you. \n\n We’re thrilled to welcome Debra Disman as this year’s Days of Awesome Artist-in-Residence!\n\nA Los Angeles–based artist\, Debra’s work bridges books\, textiles\, sculpture\, and installation to create spaces of wonder\, reflection\, and connection. Her practice weaves together making\, teaching\, and community engagement\, and her pieces have been shown in museums and art centers across the country.\nThis season she’s creating an original\, interactive tapestry for our High Holidays – a chance for our community to experience art as part of our sacred gatherings.\n\n Experience it at Days of Awesome.\n\n\n#HighHolidays #SIJCC\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArtist-in-Residence\nDebra Disman\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDebra Disman is a Los Angeles-based artist known for her work inspired by the book\, both as a solo practitioner and in the public sphere of community engagement. Her practice traverses textiles\, installation\, sculpture and performance to push the familiar into forms that arrest and baffle\, while simultaneously offering places of contemplation and solace. As a maker\, teaching artist\, researcher and writer she creates work and projects which investigate states of being and connectiveness through intensive interactions with materials while attempting to fully explore and exploit their haptic properties. \nHer work is widely shown in museums\, galleries\, art centers\, universities and libraries including The Torrance Art Museum; Art Share LA; The Irvine Fine Arts Center; The New Bedford Art Museum; The Brand Library and Art Center; ReflectSpace Gallery in Glendale\, CA; Craft Contemporary in LA: The Long Beach Museum of Art; The University of the Arts in Philadelphia; The Cape Cod Museum of Art; and The Charles E. Young Research Library at UCLA\, as well as through social practice and community endeavors. \nDisman was the featured artist for the 2016 Big Read in LA and recipient of an 2016-17 WORD: Artist Grant / Bruce Geller Memorial Prize. She was commissioned by LA’s Craft Contemporary to create the interactive book “Chromatic Interactions” in 2017 and 18th Street Arts Center to create the artists’ book\, “Unfolding Possibilities” in 2021. Her book “CONCURRENCIES Charlotte Salomon and Eva Hesse: Genius\, Trauma and the Creative Imagination” was published by ReflectSpace Gallery/Glendale Arts and Culture in 2023. \nShe was a 2018 Studio Resident at the Camera Obscura Art Lab at 1450 Ocean in Santa Monica\, and has served as an Artist-in-Residence for the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs since 2017\, directing the “We Write the Book” project. A Santa Monica Artist Fellow in 2021-22\, she has been a local artist in residence at 18th Street Arts Center since 2018.
