NEW JERSEY
Born in 1945 in Baghdad, raised in Israel and a New York resident since 1975, Zigi Ben-Haim perhaps has his geographical history to thank for his talent at piecing together disparate elements and arriving at visually integrated three-dimensional sculptures. Opening May 18, “Journey With Me” brings some 13 sculptures — made mainly from stainless steel, metal mesh and copper tubing — and four paintings to Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton.
Grounds for Sculpture, 18 Fairgrounds Road, Hamilton; May 18-July 13; Tue.-Sun. 10 a.m.-9 p.m.; prices vary by day $3-$10. (609-586-0616)
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
