Archie Rand’s The 613 was installed as an enormous multi-panel painting. The work itself depicts the artist’s responses to the 613 commandments of the Torah - the first five books of the Hebrew Bible (or Old Testament). The title was hand drawn and painted, then digitally treated to reflect the painterly nature of Rand’s works on view.
These gallery tables were developed with Staach to be sturdy, modular, and visually discreet in order to serve multiple exhibitions. On two of these tables there is a scroll, a reference to the Torah, which served as an activity to allow patrons to share their “rules to live by.”
