Leonard Cohen: A Crack in Everything
Whether you are a Leonard Cohen fan or not, he's your man, and you will love this show! The Jewish Museum has been transformed into an intimate portrait of Leonard Cohen. It is a celebration of music as an art form. This show was initiated in Leonard's Cohen birthplace Montreal and New York is its second stop, appropriate given the influence this city had on him and he on it. The show contains art pieces conceived by contemporary artists influenced by his words. They are powerful works of art that save the stage for Cohen's voice and message. This is a show where you will want to spend considerable time, likely even go back multiple times! Do not miss, the depression chamber by artist Ari Folman. This is by appointment only, and you are given the room to yourself. You lie down on a sofa and projected above you is an image of yourself, along with symbols and lyrics by Leonard Cohen to Famous Blue Raincoat. Can't remember a time I was that relaxed ...
