Souvenirs

23.10.14 - 29.11.2014

Artist: Yaacov Chefetz, Atalia Shachar, Nomi Tannhauzer
Curator: Dina Hanoch

The exhibition “Souvenirs” groups three artists that contend with personal and collective memories by encoding artifacts – objects, clothing and symbols – on the art surface. Yaacov Hefetz draws scenes and fragments related to violence during  times of war; Atalia Shachar creates fabrications of symbols (crowns) for a family that lost its roots in a chaotic world; and Nomi Tannhauser exhibits figures in exotic dress that sharpen the rift between the colorful covering and the human body  scorched  by years.  The viewer is invited to follow the personal code that each artist proposes, concerning the concept of memory.

Nora Gallery

Nora (1899-1980) inaugurated the first gallery in Jerusalem, and one of the first galleries in Israel. The gallery started its activity in 1942 in the home of painter Ludwig Jonason Mamilla Street (now Agron Street). In 1954 it moved to its current location in Nora's home in Rehavia neighborhood, and since then until her death in 1980, it hosted exhibitions of Israeli and international artists, both renowned and emerging.

Nora founded an unusual, not for profit gallery that operated without any financial backing, while the values of quality and pluralism serve as its guidelines. Since her death, the gallery continues its activity and has held some 500 exhibitions to date.
