Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education

To Jan 29 Harley Gaber: DIE PLAGE features 390 collaged images, music and objects from Harley Gaber’s life. It considers the role of individuals in the course of history and consequently challenges viewers to examine their responsibility to their nation and to one another in the plagues of our times. Curated by Melissa Martens Yaverbaum. Harley Gaber (1943-2011) was an American-Jewish minimalist composer and visual artist, known for his arresting works that rearranged the language of art and music. Between 1993 and 2002, Gaber worked on DIE PLAGE. He traveled in Europe, visiting the concentration camps at Buchenwald and Dachau, and photocopying hundreds of images in German archives that depicted the Weimar Republic through the Holocaust.
