University of Pittsburgh Press Hebrew Union College Annual: Volumes 82-83, 2011-2012
The Hebrew Union College Annual is the flagship journal of the Hebrew Union College Press and the primary face of the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion to the academic world. From its inception in 1924, its goal has been to cultivate Jewish learning and facilitate the dissemination of cutting-edge scholarship across the spectrum of Jewish studies, including The Bible, rabbinics, language and literature, history, philosophy, and religion.It was in January 1919 that a new quarterly journal first appeared on the American intellectual scene: the Journal of Jewish Lore and Philosophy was the first incarnation of what would later become the Hebrew Union College Annual. David Neumark, professor of philosophy at Hebrew Union College, USA conceived his journal as a clearinghouse for Jewish scholarship, and so the Hebrew Union College Annual remains today. With a history spanning nearly a century, it stands as a chronicle of Jewish scholarship through the twentieth century and into the twenty-first.

Hatje Cantz Michael Tedja: The color guide series and more
Drawing on draftsmanship, painting, literature, and installations, Michael Tedja's oeuvre erupts into a flamboyant and visually playful whole. His boisterous storms of imagery recall the CoBrA movement of artists from Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam briefly banded together after World War II. Aiming to banish bourgeois rituals as well as theorizing around avant-garde art, they embraced expressionist spontaneity, an unrestrained use of vivid colors, folkloric elements, handwriting and graffiti. But Michael Tedja has taken out the folkloric and anti-intellectual, his painting is a kind of IQ test. With abstract and figurative visual vocabulary complementing each other, Tedja’s imagery is expressive and linguistic, full of references and autobiographical elements. This monograph encompasses large-scale paintings, his overwhelming installation of large drawings Hypersubjective, as well as The Color Guide Series. Here, Tedja deploys textured paint, crayon and chalk on commercial paper stock—the color bars printed along the paper’s edge are left exposed—turning mass-produced standard into something decidedly unique. Yet by constantly recycling and repurposing images, Tedja explores the alterability of meaning within the visual context of globalization.
