[Gil Yefman](https://feldmangallery.com/artist-home/gil-yefman) Complex Issues Knitted into the Fabric of Art The Japan Times Oct 08, 2013 It’s difficult to say something new about the Holocaust in

In the apt prisonlike setting of The Container (a shipping container inside a Daikanyama hair salon), the topic of an Auschwitz sex slave is treated with originality and creeping power for the exhibition “H.” The title is a play on the Japanese “*ecchi*” — a slang term to describe sexual fantasy, roughly translated as “dirty” or “naughty.” **[Read more here](https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2013/10/09/arts/complex-issues-knitted-into-the-fabric-of-art/#.Wd5OsmiPKUl)** Related News & Press Apr 03, 2016 [ ![Yefman Tum Tum Detail 2013](/assets/exhibition_images/Yefman/2014-To-Me-You-Are-Beautiful/Yefman-TumTum-detail-2013.JPG) ](https://feldmangallery.com/news/2016-yefman-hyperallergic) Apr 03, 2016 Hyperallergic [Gil Yefman](https://feldmangallery.com/artist-home/gil-yefman) [Art that Slows Down How We Assess Gender](https://feldmangallery.com/news/2016-yefman-hyperallergic) Feb 20, 2017 [ ![Yefman Tum Tum 2013](/assets/exhibition_images/Yefman/2014-To-Me-You-Are-Beautiful/Yefman-TumTum-2013.JPG) ](https://feldmangallery.com/news/2016-yefman-new-york-jewish-week) Feb 20, 2017 New York Jewish Week [Gil Yefman](https://feldmangallery.com/artist-home/gil-yefman) [A Transgender Yarn](https://feldmangallery.com/news/2016-yefman-new-york-jewish-week) Jan 26, 2015 [ ![Atkinson](/assets/exhibition_images/atkinson_171007_155252.jpg) ](https://feldmangallery.com/news/2015-atkinson-artsy) Jan 26, 2015 Artsy [Conrad Atkinson](https://feldmangallery.com/artist-home/conrad-atkinson) [The Lifelong Activism of Two British Artists](https://feldmangallery.com/news/2015-atkinson-artsy) Apr 24, 2014 [ ![Wexler Sheathing The Rift 2014](/assets/exhibition_images/Wexler/2014-Breaking-Ground/Wexler-Sheathing-the-Rift-2014.JPG) ](https://feldmangallery.com/news/2014-wexler-hyperallergic) Apr 24, 2014 Hyperallergic [Allan Wexler](https://feldmangallery.com/artist-home/allan-wexler) [Breaking the Ground Between Art and Architecture](https://feldmangallery.com/news/2014-wexler-hyperallergic) [See All Press ](https://feldmangallery.com/news_overview) Ronald Feldman Gallery has been at the frontier of contemporary art since 1971.
