Wandering Ghosts
Every person has a name. Every name is a number. Every number is a frequency. Every frequency is a sound. The purest sound in the entire universe is a sine wave. Sine waves at different frequencies form different harmonies at any given moment, creating a different resonance, a vibration. Daniel Meir’s “Wandering Ghosts” comprises 16 […]
Beating Lung
“Beating Lung” is a sound installation that comes alive with a live show twice a night, in which Itzhaki plays a saxophone solo in the installation he created. Playing in the middle of a circle composed of objects, musical instruments, and sound boxes, the music permeates and activates the space. The still objects that encircle […]
Variations for Swing Assembly in 3rd Configuration
A pendulum sways in the middle of the room. An entity that traverses the space. The floor below it is covered by speaker cable that form an archipelago – a tangle of reception islands. The work explores the relationships between mechanical movement, sound production, and the electromagnetic fields that are all around us. Like the […]
Writing the Text for the Curator
Combining video with performance, Shay-Lee Uziel presents a comic take on the encounter between the artist’s creative processes and the financial mechanisms of the art world. Between success and failure. Between an exhibition that is currently on view and the moment it is repacked and goes back into the studio. The work shifts between the coordinates […]
Take It from Here
Maya Sharabani helps visitors shed the burden of identifying objects – their smartphone, house keys, wallet. Objects that over the years have attached themselves in our bodies, almost like a natural evolutionary process. “Take It from Here” is an invitation to participate in the exhibition and experience it as nameless nomad. Sharabani transforms the cafeteria […]
Guidance
The characters created by puppeteer Moti Brecher emerge from his torso, loins and stomach. They protrude out of his body like a prosthetic limb or a wisecracking growth eager to pontificate. In his performance-lecture, Brecher marries together pedagogical techniques and experimental, edgy stand-up, as he leads groups through the festival into the warren of the […]
Assembly Point
As part of its ongoing examination of the concepts of freedom and liberty, the Freedom Research Institute offers visitors an opportunity to travel while staying in one place. The Community Center’s conference room is converted into a lounge, a peripatetic therapeutic playground of sorts. Behind a theatrical red curtain, the itinerant viewer meets “Assembly Point” […]
Time
Ronit Rosenthal stands before a drum set and microphone, without any effects. Her lyrics express a longing for a place, for time, for silence. A compressed capsule of honesty, pain, and compassion performed live on stage. Recorded at Raash Studio in July 2024, “Time” is an intimate and raw album featuring five new songs and […]
Trrrraaaaaaaaannnsssssssssspooooooooooooorrrrt II
At a fair booth, which doubles as a mobile studio, the artist Noa Kurnick sculpts tiny clay figurines, one after the other. The subject of these sculptures is movement: the movement of the body and of the material. As time goes by, the figurines start to amass in large quantities. These are in fact touristic […]
