This week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast features Ori Gersht, an Israeli-born artist who has spent the last fifteen years exploring the territory in which violence and beauty overlap, often with a special focus on how a landscape can bear witness. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston has just opened a mid-career survey of his work titled, “Ori Gersht: History Repeating.” On view through Jan. 6, the show was curated by Al Miner.
Among the topics Gersht and I discuss is his belief that nations embrace certain trees for nationalistic reasons. Mark 1 (2009) shows cypress trees, which Gersht thinks are particularly Israeli.
