Lali Fruheling

Born in 1982. Lives and works in Tel Aviv Untitled, 2014, installation, mixed media Made of transparent strings connected to the walls and floor of the museum’s inner courtyard, Lali Fruheling’s work forms a three-dimensional sketch in space. This drawing’s delicacy and fragility are due not only to the extreme thinness of the threads to a degree they occasionally vanish out of sight, but also to our point of view: visitors observe the installation through the museum

In each of the three places where it touched

Yeshaiahu Rabinowitz

Born in 1975. Lives and works in Jerusalem to Azazel, 2013, sculpture, mixed media to Azazel leans on the fertile tension between tenderness and power. The cardboard horse lies on the floor, helpless, degenerate, and yet beastly and menacing. We witness a scene of downfall, defeat, collapse. The horse’s body is identifiable yet distorted and defenseless. Its crisp materiality fixates its weakness, but its huge size and mobility convey power and liveliness.

Ruti de Vries

Born in 1989. Lives and works in the Tel Aviv Since You Until Me, 2014, installation, mixed media A minimal, slightly unstable construction supports rows upon rows of various souvenirs – postcards, stones, fountain models, plates, scented pillows, key chains, and mosaics – all “in the service of the reminiscence industry”, an industry of collective memories relying on universally familiar symbols broken down into small, personal and subjective

Jonathan Goldman

Born in 1984. Lives and works in Tel Aviv See Sound, 2013, sound installation See Sound transmits the sound waves of the sea into the museum space. The inside-out dichotomy grows even sharper when we realize that the sound is not recorded but is actually that of the waves crashing in real time on the coast of Herzliya, not too far from the exhibition venue.

Ravit Mishli

Born in 1975. Lives and works in Tel Aviv Immunity Necklace, 2013, mixed media installation Mishli’s Immunity Necklace derives its name from the reality show Survivor in which participants get to wear a tribal necklace symbolizing their victory (and immunity from elimination) once they reach an advanced stage in the competition. Mishli’s huge necklace bears aesthetic references to tribal art and may have been inspired by jewelry worn

(sic)2, 2013, installation, mixed media Judith Kakon uses familiar materials and contents from the urban environment, decontextualizes them and displays them in the museum space, thereby blurring the concepts of the external and the internal and exploring urban issues.

Born in 1981. Lives and works in Tel Aviv. Custom House, 2013, dust on canvas Boat House, 2013, dust on canvas Porch, 2013, dust on canvas Rubi Bakal developed a very special technique in which he starts by choosing a certain urban site and photographing it from multiple angles. He proceeds to select one of these photographs to be used as the basis for future work. Next, he takes a canvas and glues to it a big white sticker

Yair Agmon

Born in 1986. Lives and works in Tel Aviv. Photocopy, 2012, Single Channel, HD, video, 10:20 min. Samson, 2012, 3 Channels, HD, video installation, 6:33 min. Yair Agmon’s Photocopy and Samson pique the viewer’s curiosity to follow a narrative which is almost entirely absent from both. Apart for one specific incident at the end of Samson, the works’ atmospheric qualities largely overshadow their nuanced storyline.
