Detail from: Ory Levin, "nothing to write home about", 8:24, 201226.9.2015, 20:30
Screening of contemporary video art from Israel,
Partof the Lichtung progrem at the BETONBOX
26 September 2015
Full of humour, sometimes tragic and archaic, at times encrypted, almost hermetical.
The twelve contemporary positions from Israel in the programm of the videoscreening
are giving us an idea of how they percieve our globalised world. There are elements of
political satire,
strange adaptations or aesthetical silence, and it becomes obvious in which ways the
realities of daily life influence the perception of the omnipresent virtuality.
The video-works of the Israeli artists play with universal habits of seeing and
are frequently inviting to join in the laughter.
With:
Alma Shneor, Avi Krispin, Dvir Cohen-Kedar, Gal Volinez, Hinda Weiss,
Ilan Yona, Liber May, Ory Levin, Ran Slavin, Shahar Marcus, Simha Talalaevsky, Tamir Zadok
This project is part of the Lichtung program and the program of the Foreign Office,
The Robert Bosch Stiftung and the Goethe-Institut on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary
of diplomatic relations between Israel and Germany. It is a cultural exchange project between
the BETONBOX in cooperation with the artists Amit Goffer and Vera Lossau and the
Alfred Cooperative Institute for Art & Culture in Tel Aviv. The project is enabled through the
generous support of federal state NRW, the Embassy of Israel and the Culture Departement of Dusseldorf
