Ran Slavin

Ran Slavin’s exhibition at the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art is composed of several video, sound, and light installations. Together, they present a split image that transpires intensively and cyclically in several places simultaneously. The museum’s large gallery, whose unique ceiling windows allow daylight to penetrate, has been sealed and darkened by the artist. Within the gallery there is endless flickering artificial light originating in split screens, red LED light lines, flicker

The end of the world does not lurk in the future, nor has it already transpired in the past. It is happening at this very moment. The barely hidden attraction to disaster obscures the fact that true catastrophe is not an event. The world does not end with a bang. Rather, it fades, frays, and fragments. The reasons for this are rooted in the past, but are so far removed from the ongoing present they seem like sheer whimsy.

“Life style” is more than just a way of life – it’s the way to the good life, a code for leisure time and a clear characteristic of the Western dream of globalism.

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

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
