Assaf Evron: Crystal Habit

Curator: Rotem Ruff

Due to the sharp rise in the price of iron in recent years, gatherers of metal scraps have become a familiar component of Tel Aviv's urban landscape - an inseparable part of the unofficial shadow economy that exists alongside metropolitan commerce.

Is the World a Grotesque Art Show?

Kobi Oz Stars the size of a marble swell up in size, bursting loudly and shedding light years around them, crumble to the size of an asshole, and implode. Big and luminous as they may be - they have now gone from anus to minus. Ridiculous black holes, destined to re-swallow those offensive

The Grotesque Body in Contemporary Art

Curator: Tami Katz-Freiman The exhibition explores the notion of "grotesque" as an aesthetic category gaining more and more traction in the art of recent years, as part of a baroque, eccentric trend of self-expression in defiance of any form of established order. The dictionary defines
