Amir Nave

The one-person exhibition of works by Amir Nave (b. 1974, Israel; lives in Tel Aviv) features oil and graphite on canvas paintings produced over the last two years. These large works attest to his dynamic work process – expanding the format, changing his painting materials, and distilling his symbolic language. At the very start of his career, Nave’s works were characterized by an intimate scale and mainly included drawing and intense, semi-automatic inscriptions scribbled with pen, pencil

24/7

Time as a theoretical notion has been a subject of contemplation for many years. In the seventeenth century Isaac Newton wrote in his Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy (1687) that time is an absolute entity, an aspect of objective reality which exists independently of our perception and progresses at a consistent pace. Modern science and thought have suggested complex models that undermine this objective, linear view of time. Nevertheless, the notion of time continues to play a key

Inward Gaze II

The group exhibition “Inward Gaze II” comprises works of art created in dialogue with the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art building. In each, the museum’s unique architecture, which has undergone structural and functional changes over the years, plays a central role. The exhibition directs its gaze on artworks made in direct response to the building in which they are exhibited – that is, engaging in a dialogue with the venue’s museal and architectural aspects.[1] The exhibition

Luigi Coppola

Luigi Coppola’s video On Social Metamorphosis (2012) is founded on the principle that new social concepts require a new language to be heard. The artist collaborated with singers, comedians, and other artists, in formulating a utopian manifesto which they sing as a choir. The manifesto is inspired by blogger Paul Jorion, a journalist who created one of the most influential platforms for discussion of the economic, political, and social climate in Europe today. Following the present economic

On the face of it, a self portrait is an endeavor to attain figurative similarity or reduce the gap between outward appearances and inner characteristics. However, like any other portrait it entails a representational gap between the actual person depicted and that person’s image as portrayed on canvas. Although abstraction deeply undermined the portrait’s traditional representational modes, it seems that abstract painters have never ceased presencing the “creative self” in their works.

Ruthi Helbitz Cohen

Ruthi Helbitz Cohen’s interdisciplinary project brings together her mixed-media creations with Joshua Sobol’s theatrical work. Helbitz activates the exhibition space in various ways, constructing an interconnected installation of paintings, floor works and suspended elements. The images add further layers to a repertoire she has been developing over the years, and which has crystallized into a unique allegorical and material language. Her works feature a mixture of acrylic paints, ink, spray

Effi & Amir, Ilir Kaso

Effi & Amir are an artist duo based in Brussels, originally from Israel. Their new video, made in collaboration with the Albanian artist Ilir Kaso, Skcolidlog and Other Inversions (2015), was shot in deserted private houses in ex-communist Albania, a country which remained untouched by Western influence until the 1990s due to its totalitarian regime. Following mass immigration to European countries which were perceived as more successful economically, many houses under
