The centerpiece of Guy Briller’s exhibition, The New Herzls and the Foundation Stone Studio, is a printing workshop used as an active installation, in which the artist has held dozens of discussions with guests – including fine and performing artists, poets, social activists, politicians and academics – all of whom have made the pilgrimage to the Mishkan Museum of Art in Ein Harod. Each with his own life story, worldview and social, cultural or political vision for Israel in 2017. Briller, for his part, wears the hat of the artist, shaman, confessor and alternatively – that of “the new Herzl”. These talks have been recorded and may be seen projected in the exhibition venue. The exhibition includes additional works, including a “missile” whose warhead is truncated by the ceiling, a dartboard covered with a print of the Kabbalah Sephirot with the inscription infinity, and an assemblage called “target list”.
