TBS member Michael Bogdanow will speak at his “Imaginary Worlds” exhibit. Since the 1970s, Jewish themes have played a major part in Michael’s art, as seen atwww.MichaelBogdanow.com. The exhibit features his paintings as well as several very recent sculptures created from his unique integration of semi-precious stone chips, wood, motors, acrylic paint, and other materials. The discussion will explore the use of Judaism as a source for creating art, and the themes of music, dance, humankind, and the cosmos in Michael’s paintings and sculptures. Space for this discussion event is limited to 25 participants. Light refreshments will be served. Questions?Contact Adult Learning.

Michael has a B.A. from Brandeis in Studio Art, an M.F.A. from Columbia in Painting and Sculpture, and a J.D. from Harvard Law School. The exhibit runs from Sept. 5 to Sept. 29, with an opening reception on Sunday, September 8th from 4:00-6:00 pm.
