Danielle Durchslag @ Four Corners Gallery

Danielle Durchslag grew up in the Jewish 1%, the lucky beneficiary of her great grandfather, Nathan, who started out his life as an immigrant peddler, and ended it as a business and philanthropic giant. Her work explores the political and psychological complexities of dynastic families like hers; clans simultaneously afraid of the very real, and currently growing, threat of anti-Semitism and its long rhetorical connection to Jewish money, and enamoured with their recent positions as centres of political and philanthropic influence.

What does it mean to be powerful victims? Jewish women in these moneyed broods fully embody this specific contradiction, being defined by both the privileges and confusions of their wealth, and the severe limitations of the patriarchy. The exhibition CHOSEN explores their reality, and their choices, today.
