Still / Moving

The Israel Museum presents “Still / Moving”: a multi media exhibition.

Open through April 2011

Exploring the use of slow and meditative movement in a variety of mediums, including installation, video, and photography, Still / Moving draws from the Museum’s wide-ranging holdings in contemporary art and features such artists as Carlos Amorales, Olafur Eliasson, Ori Gersht, Mona Hatoum, Junya Ishigami, and Bill Viola. Each work takes a different approach to the contemplative aspect of motion, exploring ways in which slow movement has the power to fascinate, even hypnotize, and how it can modify our perception of space and our experience of individual works of art. The exhibition is curated by Suzanne Landau, Yulla and Jacques Lipchitz Chief Curator of the Fine Arts and Landeau Family Curator of Contemporary Art.
