Exhibitions in 2012

A Gift for Our Children: Culture for Children in Kibbutzim

The rich, inner culture to which children raised and educated on kibbutzim were exposed is revealed in the exhibit and book, Culture for Children in Kibbutzim. Included in this culture are ideas in the fields of architecture, ties to nature, the “junk yard”, art, games and toys, literature, theater, puppetry, film and holidays... read more

Dan Frank | Open Eyes

Curator: Shir-Meller Yamaguchi

Dan Frank did not belong to any of the major styles of Israeli art, which may account for the reason he staged relatively few exhibitions outside of his kibbutz. However, he was alert to his environment, involved and greatly concerned with the kibbutz and its destiny... read more

Moshe Kupferman | In Addition to the Expected

Curator: Galia Bar Or

For art lovers in Israel, a Moshe Kupferman exhibition is a feast. Each and every exhibition of his works offers a new experience of becoming acquainted with this multi-faceted artist, in whose work more is always concealed than revealed... read more

Noam Rabinovich's Maps

Curator: Galia Bar Or

“Six and a Half Degrees Below the Horizon” – the title Noam Rabinovich has given his series of maps – may be physically accurate for the position of the sun around the time the maps relate to, but it also carries a poetic and metaphoric meaning... read more

Khader Oshah | Hagar

Curator: Galia Bar Or
In a quasi-conceptual format using a series of Bedouin breast embroideries and literary poetic texts, Oshah evokes a parade of ghosts of faceless absent-yet-present women, unit after unit. In rows upon rows they float in the white space, drawing our gaze to the red number that indicates the woman’s age at the time when the thread of her life was cut by a man in a socially sanctioned act...

Hadar Sobol | Go

From inner circles to broader circles, in an installation that relates to the simplicity and clarity of the gallery space, a deep process of prolonged intimate, circuitous, and aggregative work is exposed. Hadar Sobol spins networks of internal affinities that radiate upon their surroundings and engage in the dynamics of life as well as in the creative process itself, or in change as a deviation from a framework, and all these are intimated in the exhibition’s title... read more

Yossi Asher | Foreign • Worker

Yossi Asher presents manipulated digital photography in which the smallest details blend into the fine covering of the surface of the print, similarly to a fine etching or to Chinese porcelain, or perhaps the smooth skin of a girl’s face, a fragile and vulnerable beauty. With his sensitive drawing skill, Yossi Asher incorporates a variety of items into the plaster of the ceiling that can be seen in the photograph: several lines, twigs for a bonfire, a thick tree-branch, a star shape.

Noam Edry | The Silver Salver

Women, blood, profanity, beauty, exotic fruit, women's exclusion, boycotts of Israeli goods – these flow like a current vein in the remnants of the night of fire on the silver platter, remnants in the guise of film extracts and traces of actions left behind after Noam Edry's sensational and controversial performance, which marked the end of 2011at the museum.
