Andrew Gluzman: Still at the Landscape
Opening: Saturday, 14.07.2012. Closing: Monday, 20.08.2012
Curator: Reuven Zahavi
Still at the Landscape is the first solo exhibition of the photographer Andrey Gluzman. Landscape, desert environment and human intervention on an abandoned territory are the focus of his artistic process, expressed in photography.
In his exhibition, Gluzman seeks to look at the tragedy from an aesthetical point of view: has the destruction of the abandoned city created chaos or beauty? How does it manifest a year after the disaster? During his long stay in Chaiten, the artist's attitude to the destroyed landscape has changed, and he began to see the aesthetical aspect of inanimate nature...

Motke Blum: Seeking the White Dove
Opening: Saturday, 14.07.2012. Closing: Monday, 20.08.2012
Curator: Irit Salmon
For the first time, the artist, Motke Blum, exposes his experiences during the Holocaust depth, in a series of hundreds of paintings, mostly in black and black-and-white, depicting the symbols of evil, fear and horror experienced by groups of haunted people, who lost their identity and personality overnight. Possibly, Motke is trying to speak their voice. These harsh experiences are expressed in his paintings of boat skeletons and shipwrecks, barbed wire and faces filled with sorrow, which lead the observer through the stories. Throughout the years the artist swayed between light and darkness: from his innocent experiences as a child to a frustrating, harsh adolescence; between tragedies and hopes; black and gray; between subtle sketches and dark rough surfaces.

Shlomi Lellouche: I Still Haven't Painted Myself with the New Glasses...
Opening: Saturday, 14.07.2012. Closing: Monday, 20.08.2012
Curator: Yael Guilat
Shlomi Lellouche is a figurative painter, who until now, usually created paintings and drawings of self portraits. However, alongside these self portraits, landscapes and interiors became a subject of study for the artist as well. The valley landscapes, the ravens, the beetroots, the pomegranates and the garlic - which dried out in its tormented position as model - become kinds of self portraits themselves.
