The Israel Museum presents "Squeeze:" Video Works by Mika Rottenberg
The first solo show in Israel of video and installation artist Mika Rottenberg, this exhibition presents six video works by the artist, spanning a decade of artistic creativity. Known for her use of the human body in extreme, poetic and critical ways, Rottenberg creates out-of-the-ordinary assembly lines, in which actresses with unusual physical attributes and abilities become part of an absurd manufacturing process that produces a variety of nameless products using substances such as sweat, hair, and cosmetic powder. Rottenberg raises questions about the role of women in society, the tension between man and machine, and the role of the handmade in an increasingly global, commercial and hyper-technological age. The exhibition is curated by Amitai Mendelsohn, Curator of the David Orgler Department of Israeli Art.
