Following two years of heavy COVID restrictions, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art opened the “first-ever retrospective in Israel” of the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. Beyond the pioneering artist that is the subject of the retrospective and what it says about the Israeli public that is drawn to her work, the exhibition also invites analysis into the restaging of art exhibitions originating in another country, in this case a German museum, with all the implications that such a venture raises in Israel. In breaking down the curatorial modus operandi of restaging a borrowed exhibition designed by the Gropius Bau Museum in Berlin in Tel Aviv, this paper explores the museological craft of restaging exhibitions. In its original conception, the Gropius Bau focused on Kusama’s art “from a European and particularly from a German perspective,” highlighting Kusama’s “influence” on the European art scene during the time she spent in Germany in the late 1960s. The Tel Aviv Museum made significant changes to this scholarly conceptual core, perhaps sensitive to any claim that positioned Berlin as a cosmopolitan city after the Holocaust, by opting for an “affective” visitor experience. The site-specific textuality of this endeavor foregrounds the Tel Aviv Museum’s performance of itself in its twin roles in the nation’s history and its internationalization of the country’s cultural capital. I suggest that the Kusama exhibition reflects a new direction for the broader practices of art curatorship in the oldest art museum in the country.

Scholars have often used the Mishnaic tractate Middot, “Measurements,” as the basis for recreating technical drawings of the Jerusalem Temple. Middot was never intended, however, to be used this way. Buildings in antiquity were largely erected without the use of technical drawings, and construction usually began without a fully resolved design. Furthermore, the very idea of copying a building was different, with no expectations of a faithful replica. Instead, Middot was concerned with transmitting the main elements of the Temple. As such, its compilers were willing to forgo the use of diagrams and rely on common, tried-and-true verbal methods for transmitting architectural information.

This article explores the transformation of the divine word/image—the graphic representation of the Tetragrammaton—that originated in the work of Joseph Hamadan, a thirteenth-century kabbalist, and was incorporated into the work of Moses Cordovero, a sixteenth-century kabbalist. The issue of the divine word/image is an intersection of various theological positions found in kabbalistic thought concerning the corporeality of the divine through the medium of the word. However, alongside the theological positions are technological capabilities. This article demonstrates how various actors—kabbalists, copyists, printers, and even modern-day digital pirates—changed this word/image, intentionally and unintentionally, through their application of their technical skills and technological abilities. This article also raises a methodological point concerning the study of image-laden Jewish texts in our digital age.
