Rockford Art Museum presents an exhibition of four installations by internationally recognized Chicago-based artist Gerda Meyer Bernstein, who addresses thorny global issues in work that explores both her personal history as a Holocaust survivor and the collective history of humanity. In (Un)Civil Histories, Bernstein presents a civilized environment in which visitors experience very “uncivilized” events in history. Each piece is rooted in a major issue or event of history itself: the Holocaust in Tribunal; civil unrest and the countless missing people in The Army of the Disappeared; human rights violations in Exit Only; and casualties of war in her newest piece, The Untold Story. Her installations are powerful yet poetic reminders of atrocities committed against one another, designed to allow for personal experiences that elicit one desired response: compassion.
