NEW YORK.- The Jewish Museum will present Signs from Berlin: A Project by Stih and Schnock from September 5, 2003 through January 4, 2004. In this multimedia installation, German artists Renata Stih and Frieder Schnock's award-winning memorial, Places of Remembrance, is presented through large-scale video projections and documentary materials showing the work as it appears in Bayerisches Viertel, a Berlin neighborhood which, prior to World War II, was home to a thriving Jewish population. Installed in 1993, the project in Berlin consists of 80 signs that hang from neighborhood lampposts. One side of each sign displays a Nazi ordinance passed between 1933 and 1945 that placed restrictions on Jews. The other side shows a simple colored pictogram created by the artists to illustrate the edict. The signs reveal how German Jews were systematically stripped of basic rights and forced out of daily life.
