What's Opening: December 3rd
Exhibition: Do Not Feed The Animals
Details: The exhibition "Do Not Feed the Animals" introduces a new body of works by Israeli street artist Dede, familiar to audiences from the public sphere. In recent years, motifs that allow to easily trace his imprint keep surfacing in the artist’s works: Band-Aids diversely used, little structures, sheds and buildings all integrate in his paintings, in the figures of animals made of wooden planks, ever on the run, searching or struggling. His large paintings are on display over walls in the public sphere, as well as in galleries, different art events and exhibition spaces in cultural hubs around the world, such as London, New York, Tel Aviv and Berlin.
The present exhibition is the culmination of a long work process, where Dede explored the constantly changing urban fabric. In his new works, he chose to dedicate a special place for the relationships at play between image and place, and between the Israeli art field and the urban environment that it inhabits.
Artist: Dede
Venue: Dan Gallery
Opening: December 3rd, 8 pm
Exhibition: Hazit #2
Details: The “hazit” is action in display. Thoughts generated in the studios of 2nd year students of the Bezalel MFA Program, will be displayed to the street.
This window display will function associatively, and change every month. The artists of Hazit #1 will not explicate their art works, hence the next group (hazit#2 etc.) of artists will need to react, change or update what was previously shown. This project will take place for an entire year, as different groups of artists build-up, alter and respond to their individual interpretation on the works formerly exhibited.
Venue: Salame 60
Opening: December 3rd, 8 pm
Exhibition: Style Wars II Screening and DVD Release
Details: The Israeli Premiere of Slovenian-Swiss artist duo 'Veli & Amos' graffiti documentary shot in Israel, New York, Zurich, Palestine, and Slovenia.
An allusive and highly entertaining film, "Style Wars 2" reflects upon subculture, lifestyle and the intermingling of politics and art.
Marked by pop-cultural iconography, the film is a multi-layered reference to the cult documentary Style Wars (1983), in which Tony Silver and Henry Chalfant zoomed into the New York breakdance and graffiti scenes of their time.
Screening in the presence of the directors.
