Attend the opening of Alphabet Letters from Heaven at the Museum of Jewish Art, curated by Ruth Eliav. The paintings depict the works of late artist Zvi Yehuda Grundman.

Born in Jedrzejow, Poland, to a father who was himself an artist of sacred synagogue art as well as commercial ads, he survived World War II as a sign painter. He was able to obtain some butter and eggs from the Germans under the pretext it would make paint thicker.

After liberation, he convinced Red Army officers to let him pass into the English zone. He studied art in Basel, Switzerland, and later at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem.

He was a well-known synagogue decoration artist and book illustrator (such as Tale of Seven Beggars by Rabbi Nahman of Breslov, 1966). He died in Israel in 1995.

The works explore the unofficial use of this geographic point as a dumping ground for satellites by the few countries that send things into space. In the South Pacific Ocean, Point Nemo is the farthest location from land. Which is why the satellites are preprogrammed to fall there.
