Her paintings, drawings and assemblage will create an environment that opens up and reveals layers visually, as a book does conceptually. “A Thousand and One Inventions” expands on the themes in Avadenka’s limited edition artist’s book, “By A Thread.” Created in 2004 with a grant from the HBI, the book imagines a conversation between Queen Esther, the heroine of Purim, and Scheherazade, the teller of a thousand and one tales. Both women spoke up when they could have remained silent, and saved many lives through their fortitude. At HBI, 515 South St., Waltham Date: May 21st, 2008 Time: thru 5/21 Web: www.brandeis.edu/hbi...
