San Francisco’s Contemporary Jewish Museum hosts Community Day on Monday, Dec. 25, where visitors are invited to explore the museum’s galleries and exhibitions, free of cost.
The museum’s current shows deliver a holiday helping of color, whimsy and intrigue, as in “Jewish Folktales Retold: Artist as Maggid,” an exhibition that commissioned 16 artists to respond to and reimagine selections from a rich history of Jewish storytelling. Also on view is “Kutiman: offgrid offline,” a sharp, contemporary assemblage of sound clips found on the Internet that, combined, create a musical composition played from computer monitors to fill the airy, angular architecture of the Contemporary Jewish Museum’s Yud Gallery.
