Discussion | Borders and Security in Israeli Diplomacy


With Ambassador Dore Gold, Former Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations. Moderated by Dr. Stephanie Neuman, Director, Comparative Studies Program and Member, SIWPS. When Israelis and Palestinians re-engage in negotiations, the issues of borders and security will continue to be prevalent in Israeli diplomatic considerations. How those positions evolved is surprisingly not well known, even in the US, and hence requires explanation. In recent years, Israel's regional experiences have further framed its security approach, including its lessons from the Gaza withdrawal in 2005 and the start of the Arab spring in 2011. The Israeli approach to international forces will be fully discussed, as well.

Lecture | Isaac Levendel discusses his book Hunting Down the Jews: Vichy, the Nazis and Mafia Collaborators in Provence, 1942-1944


Levendel is the author of "Not the Germans Alone, A Son’s Search for the Truth of Vichy." The author's mother, Sarah Lewendel, a Jewish woman originally from Poland, disappeared in the vortex of the Nazi extermination machine on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Her son has lived with this tragedy for over sixty-five years and has carefully reconstructed the history of the Holocaust in Provence, the Vaucluse, and its main city, Avignon. Germany invaded southern France in November 1942 and the German police made abundant use of freelance Jew hunters, who eagerly seized the opportunity. This lecture details of Nazi and Vichy anti-Semitic policy and analyzes the mechanisms of collaboration with its Mafia component.

Lecture | Subjective Histories of Sculpture: Martin Kersels


SculptureCenter presents the artist-led lecture series. This year, Martin Kersels, Agnieszka Kurant, and Allison Smith have been invited to present their own take on art history and consider the thematic focus of Thingness. Martin Kersels emerged in the late 1980s as a performance artist and founding member of the Los Angeles-based collaborative SHRIMPS. Continuing to work in performance, he incorporates sculpture, photography, video and installation into his practice. Employing a comedic slapstick effect that engages in both humor and pathos, Kersels often utilizes his own physique as a driving force to investigate ideas about performative sculpture.
