Gering said she is going to be “involved in a few ongoing projects including curatorial projects in Vienna and Amsterdam.” However, the projects she is most passionate about are spiritual ones. She is co-writing a course for the Kabbalah Centre in Manhattan on art and spirituality. Her life in the\u00a0<\/span>art world is a spiritual quest, and that teaching would be a way to share her experience she told us.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
She is also collaborating with Leo Villareal, designer Ghiora Aharoni, and H & H Book Services, owned by Jack and John Papuchyan, to create a special copy of the <\/span>Tikkunei Zohar. <\/span><\/i>The <\/span>Tikkunei Zohar<\/span><\/i> is a mystical commentary on the Torah written in medieval Aramaic and contains 70 dissertations on Genesis. It is important to those studying Kabbalah. The version Gering is producing will be printed on silver paper and housed in a special box designed by Aharoni. The symbol of the tree of life will illuminate the cover with computer controlled LED lights designed by Villareal. Gering\u2019s goal is to present copies to the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, the Vatican in Rome, The Jewish Museum in NYC, and Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Gering feels it is \u201cthe time for women to come forward.” Gering is also contemplating writing a book about her life. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
The interview started with Gering telling us that she is \u201can extremely fulfilled woman.” Sandra will be turning 75 this year and is looking forward to being free of the 24\/7 gallery life. She has three grandchildren living on the West Coast and plans to spend time with them in southern California during the cold NYC winters.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nJENNIFER WEN MA, Eight Views of Paradise Interrupted, 2017, Installation view (in progress)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u200b<\/p>\n
