Jerusalem Artists’ House is launching the first virtual exhibition

The virtual wing, a new initiative of the Jerusalem Artists’ House, is a platform for staging exhibitions in which the physical setting of the historic building is shifted to cyberspace, adding a new display wing to the house’s extensive activities.

The first online exhibition of the Jerusalem Artists’ House, “Castles in the Air” will be available to view from any computer or smartphone on the Jerusalem Artists’ House website.

The exhibition explores computer technology as a platform for art, thereby striving to recreate a sense of presence and to construct an original experience of facing artworks in that virtual world.

Artistic consultation: Hadas Maor

Jerusalem Artists’ House

The Jerusalem Artists House is situated in a historic building that once housed "The Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts," founded by Boris Schatz in 1906, today the current Bezalel Academy for Arts and Design. For a time the building housed the Bezalel National Museum, precursor of The Israel Museum, Jerusalem. When the Israel Museum was opened, the collections of the Bezalel National Museum were transferred to it, where they formed the initial core collection of the Museum. Since 1965, the House has served as home to the Association for Jerusalem Artists. In this capacity, the House has become a dynamic center for exhibitions, displaying unique and varied works of both Israeli and international artists. The annual exhibition plan includes a series focusing on prominent young artists exhibiting their works for the first time, as well as a series of retrospective works by veteran artists. In addition, the Artists House displays group exhibitions on a wide range of subjects, joint presentations between Israeli and international artists, as well as a variety of other activities.
