Much art of the last generation has consisted of an anxious search for the unmediated, essential parts of the “I” that had been speculated away during the 1960s and '70s uncoiling of long accepted fictions of the Western order of things. But some exceptional art began to interrogate more critically the subtle interfaces between personal, subjective experience, and collective ideology. Currently, "The Jewish Identity Project," at the Skirball Cultural Center, is a courageous and important effort that sheds light on the complexities of Jewish identity specifically, but human identity in general.
