OPENING: Judith Schaechter explores salvation and solitude in site-specific prison installation

FILED UNDER: Exhibition

Once a prison housing notorious criminals such as Al Capone, the Eastern State Penitentiary is now a historic haunt open to the public. The building was the first penitentiary in the world, a type of spiritual jail meant to rouse regret in its prisoners. This might sound like an unusual place to open an art exhibition – but for Judith Schaechter, a more perfect location for her latest show, “The Battle of Carnival and Lent,” could not have been imagined. Schaechter, intrigued by the penitentiary’s intersection between penitent salvation and confined solitude, has created 17 stained glass windows that will be installed in the skylights within Cellblocks 8, 11, and 14.
