Gesture 20 Years Later
In observance of the 20th anniversary of September 11th, Pelham Art Center presents the installation GESTURE by Manju Shandler in its gallery from August 28 through September 18, 2021.
Manju Shandler’s nearly 3000-piece painting installation, GESTURE, is a memorial to those lost on September 11th, 2001. Reflecting the size of this tragedy with one painting for each person lost, it is a personal study of the tremendous ramifications of this day in our collective history. Gesture is a meditation on the many facets of life, death, the past, and the future that have been inextricably altered by that single day. Completed over a three-year period, the style and content of each piece spans the range of human emotion from horrific to uplifting, from dark to light.
Overwhelmed with emotion like so many New Yorkers in the wake of the September 11th terrorist attacks, Manju Shandler sought to ground herself through the process of making art. She chose to express the magnitude of loss through individual paintings, one for each victim. Shandler turned to the images that dominated the news media after 9/11 and juxtaposed them with images of her own creation. Among the approximately 3,000 paintings she created are portraits drawn from photographs appearing in the New York Times’ Portraits of Grief series. Each painting measures 4 by 9 inches.
850 GESTURE paintings were previously displayed in 2017 at The National September 11th Memorial & Museum, NYC for the 15th anniversary exhibition Rendering the Unthinkable: Artists Respond to 9/11. In 2007 all 2,973 GESTURE paintings were exhibited at The Honfleur Gallery in Washington DC. Pelham Art Center will exhibit the GESTURE installation beginning Saturday, August 28 through Saturday, September 18th. The Pelham Art Center gallery is free and open to the public. Gallery Hours: Monday-Friday 10AM-5PM, Saturday 10AM-4PM.
September 11th Public Meditation
Pelham Art Center will host a public meditation on Saturday, September 11th 12:00-2:00pm. Inside the gallery, visitors are invited to participate in a silent group meditation memorializing 9/11 and all those whose lives are lost and affected. Outside in the courtyard, guests may share reflections and experiences. This event is free and open to all who wish to remember, reflect, and invoke peace through meditation.

I am pleased to be sharing my work from the series Leviathans in Venice, Italy. This solo show is a series of large narrative paintings and mixed media works created in 2011 in response to Japanese tsunami and the resulting nuclear disaster. The imagery was created by using a mash up of Japanese flood photojournalism juxtaposed with renaissance masterpieces and 18th century etchings of whaling. Whaling is recognized as one of the first super fuels.Sea levels continue to rise all over the world causing change to our environment. The impact of high water in Venice last winter is another example.
