New Barbizon School – “Portraits & Landscapes” (15.8 – 13.9)

October 22, 2014July 24, 2014 by Shira Sverdlov

In our next exhibition which opens on August 15 we are pleased to host the “New Barbizon School”. “New Barbizon School” was founded in the summer of 2010 by five artists (Zoya Cherkassky-Nnadi, Olga Kundina, Anna Lukashevsky, Asya Lukin and Natalia Zourabova), who immigrated to Israel from the former USSR. The name of the group relates to the French Barbizon School which was active in the middle of the 19th century, whose members worked in the surrounding of the Barbizon village where they abandoned formalism and drew inspiration directly from nature.

Yochai Matos – “Reclaim Fame” (15.8 – 13.9)

October 22, 2014July 24, 2014 by Shira Sverdlov

In our next show we will host the exhibition “Reclaim Fame” by Yochai Matos. In his work, Matos uses the staple images of modern culture; whether simple or iconic, these are images imbued with layers of replication and recycling. Matos’ work explores the materiality and the social relations around public space as a property. Practicing in two fields; on the streets and inside the established Art world – Matos searches the cross points between the two disciplines.

Parallel Port: UdK Berlin at Circle1 (20.6 – 22.6)

February 19, 2017June 18, 2014 by Shira Sverdlov

Parallel Port: Siebzehn Kunststudenten reisen zwölf Tage nach Israel. Im Sinne einer klassischen Studienreise geht es um die Auseinandersetzung mit den politischen Konflikten und ihrem Erleben aus der Sicht eines Besuchers. Das künstlerische Konzept folgt einem beinahe tautologischen Plan. Er hat mit der besonderen Aufmerksamkeit zu tun für das, was jeder Reisende seit Jahrhunderten tut: etwas in das besuchte Land mitzunehmen und etwas anderes wieder mitzubringen. Das kann eine Erfahrung, ein Gegenstand, ein Ding oder ein Vorgang sein.

Francesca Fini – Fair and lost (27.6 – 26.7)

Miloš Tomić – Musical Diaries (4.4 – 10.5)

October 22, 2014March 23, 2014 by Shira Sverdlov

Musical Diaries is an exhilarating work by Miloš Tomić (Serbia, 1976) a multimedia artist whose works span film, photography, collages and sculpture. It started off as intuitive daily musical therapy, improvising on various instruments and paying attention to sounds made by daily objects at home, on the street and slowly, everywhere he traveled.

“Salt # 3” by Alona Harpaz (4.4 – 10.5)

October 22, 2014March 19, 2014 by Shira Sverdlov

Alona Harpaz’s video Salt # 3 which will be displayed at circle1 in the next exhibition, is a fascinating experience relating to Israeli folk dance. Israeli folk dance answers some of the parameters required to define a Folk dance such as being performed by people with little or no professional training, but other than this characteristic none of the attributes related to the term appear in any of them.

Alona Harpaz – “As if Royal” (4.4 – 10.5)

October 22, 2014March 19, 2014 by Shira Sverdlov

Telémachos Alexiou’s dream of Norma (20.2 – 29.3)

October 22, 2014February 6, 2014 by Shira Sverdlov

Motion and stillness, depth and surface, black and white, physicality and abstraction – Telémachos Alexiou’s video The Dream of Norma transposes these cinematographic parameters in a duality that both distills and delights. On three screens, a dancing duel unfolds between Norma (Vaginal Davis) and a masked phantom (Telémachos Alexiou), a ceremony of seduction, an erotic courtship…

Tzion Abraham Hazan- “Marganith”

May 6, 2014February 6, 2014 by Shira Sverdlov

A journey down the streets of Tel-Aviv, between governmental and institutional buildings, exposes the location of a white tower, also named “Marganith”. The tower, which is located on the “Qirya” military base, seems to mark the center of the city. Along this journey, buildings intermittently expose the tower or entirely block our view of it.
