KnightArts Reviews the Wind Challenge
Chip Schwartz of KnightArts reviews the third in the series of this year’s Fleisher Wind Challenges. In the review, he writes this about Leslie Friedman’s installation ‘Yenta’: Leslie Friedman fills a huge portion of the gallery space with large, structural installations, which are interestingly as much a product of printmaking as they are modular assembly.

The Path and the Structure on DonArtNews
Don Brewer transcribes the artists talks from the opening of ‘The Path and the Strucure’ at the Center for Emerging Visual Artists. At the opening, Leslie Friedman said of her work and the way she began thinking of some of her recent installations, Jewish identity, and stereotypes in general: I started to think, ‘What would cool Jewish art look like?’ ‘What would it look like if Jewish art were being sold?’ And that’s been an under-current of a lot of my work. I showed my work at Napoleon in a show called ‘Gay, Jewish or Both?’ But, something that I…
