Machane Yehuda will be transformed into a huge urban art display, in which art takes over the shuk and the shuk is the inspiration for the art, as part of the upcoming "Tabula Rasa" project in an around the streets of Machane Yehuda. Painters, sculptors, photographers, and graphic artists are to participate in this unique urban art project in the heart of Jerusalem's Machane Yehuda market. Art pieces to be displayed include a statue of Teddy Kolek made completely from recycled bottle caps, self portraits of artists from varying backgrounds who have come together for the project, a huge backgammon board, and more. In the coming days, visitors are invited to frequent the shuk in the evening and witness the artists at work: garbage cans, walls, and concrete - all these and more will be transformed into urban art creations. Participating artists include KNOW HOPE - the Israeli posta-graffiti artist, Einat Shtekler, Itamar Mendesflor, Tamar Pikes, and more. The works of art will be displayed for at least a year. The project was initiated by Jerusalem Municipality's Arts branch in cooperation with the Shuk Vendors Association, New Spirit, and the Lev Hair Community Council.
