Dance Photos
At Pierce Street

Israeli Dancers

The Pierce Street Gallery of
Photography will host "Mood
and Movement, Israeli Dance
Photographs, 1936-1951," by A.
Himmelreich. The show will
run through March 30.
Mr. HimmeLreich was born
in Germany in 1904. As a self-
taught photographer, he was
exposed to a wide range of work.
In 1933 he emigrated to Pales-
tine.
His interest in the dance de-
veloped after a chance meeting
with the Orenstein twins, then
well-known dancers.
Though the dance pho-
tographs represent only a small
part of Mr. Himmelreich's work,
they succeed in capturing the
spirit of their time — a spirit
and energy of the pioneer in a
new land and the spirit of ex-
ploration of new forms in dance.
Gallery hours are Wednes-
day-Saturday, 12-5. The gallery
is located upstairs at 217 Pierce,
Birmingham. For information,
call the Gallery, 646-6950.

Jewish Sites
Exhibit Mounted

"The Future of Jewish Monu-
ments," a photographic exhibi-
tion dedicated to the
preservation of Jewish archi-
tecture and sites worldwide, will
be on view at the Maple-Drake
Jewish Community Center,
Feb. 6-27.
This exhibit is organized by
the World Monuments Fund's
Jewish Heritage Council and
co-sponsored by the Jewish His-
torical Society and the Jewish
Community Center, with the
assistance of Preservation
Wayne. The exhibition is the
first to address the precarious
state of Jewish historic and
artistic monuments, including
synagogues, cemeteries and
Jewish quarters in larger towns
and cities.
Included in the exhibition are
photographs and descriptions

of places of great antiquity,
artistic and architectural dis-
tinction, and historic and reli-
gious significance.
The exhibition focuses on the
problems confronting Jewish
monuments, especially in East-
ern Europe and North Africa,
and illustrates a wide range of .
preservation solutions and suc-
cessful preservation efforts.
The opening reception for the
exhibit will be 2-4 p.m. Feb. 6.
Samuel Gruber, director of the
Jewish Heritage Council, will
be the featured guest speaker
at 2:30 p.m. at the Maple-Drake
building.

Paint Creek
Hosts Exhibit

The Paint Creek Center for the
Arts will showcase "Ancient
Sites," an exhibition of recent
work by Gloria Frank, Jan Lin-
coln, and Marilyn Schecter, in the
Main Gallery, through Feb. 4.
This exhibition of two- and
three-dimensional pieces syn-
thesizes ancient and contem-
porary elements in unique,
thought-provoking ways.
Gloria Frank fashions earth-
toned ceramic vessels with the
help of such contemporary ma-
terials as corrugated roofing
panels and salt-glazes them in
the time-honored tradition. Ms.
Frank's work is deeply influ-
enced by her pilgrimages to an-
cient burial sites and shrines.
Jan Lincoln's mixed media
painting and sculpture were in-
spired by her travels to ancient
sites in the American South-
west, Central America and Eu-
rope. Nowhere is this more
apparent than in her two free-
standing pieces. She blends im-
ages of old and new: prehistoric
figures and their monuments
next to images of 20th-century
astronauts and space machin-
ery.
Marilyn Schechter, who cre-
ates abstract charcoal drawings
with swirling organic forms,
shares the ancients' reverence
for nature. A spiral image is the
focal point of many of her works
— possibly the symbol of her
journey inward for self-knowl-
edge.
Gallery hours for "Ancient
Sites" are Tuesday through Sat-
urday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Admis-
sion is free. The Paint Creek
Center is located at 407 Pine
Street, two blocks west of Main
Street in downtown Rochester.
For information, call the center,
651-4110. ❑
