Manofim 2022 | My Name Is Red

My Name Is Red

Opening: 29.10.20 - Closing: 14.1.20

Artist: Group Exhibition
Curator: Irena Gordon

A special project supported by the Jerusalem Foundation, in which the workshop has invited six artists to create new print works following the novel “My Name is Red” by Orhan Pamuk, which deals with the question of painting and the book tradition at the intersection of the Eastern Persian-Muslim art and the Western Renaissance Christian art in early 16th century Istanbul. The works in the exhibition examine the image and representation in contemporary art from within the local culture with its legacy of East and West, how does art serve as a space that allows the past to live in the present? And is art a question of life and death?

Artists: Meydad Eliyahu, Sagie Azoulay, Karam Natour, Maria Saleh Mahameed, shahar yahalom, Hanan Abu-Hussein

Jerusalem Print Workshop

The Jerusalem Print Workshop is a center dedicated to the promotion and fostering of the art of printmaking. The workshop was founded in 1974 by Arik Kilemnik – winner of the 2001 Teddy Kollek Jerusalem Foundation Prize – as a non-profit organization. Since 1977 the workshop is located in a picturesque building from the Ottoman period in Morasha neighborhood, on the seam line between east and west Jerusalem. The Workshop wishes to be a home to Jerusalem based artists and artistic creation that will integrate traditional techniques with innovative technologies, and thus form a direct link to the glorious tradition of Hebrew print in Jerusalem and in the Land of Israel.
