Manofim 2022 | The Corner of Haneviim and Shivtei Israel

The Corner of Haneviim and Shivtei Israel

Opening: 26/10/2017 - Closing: 25/1/2018

Artist: Sharon Poliakine
Curator: Irena Gordon

Sharon Poliakine turns the Print Workshop into a stratified archeological site, incorporating her new prints alongside various objects and paintings. The images, which alternately come to the surface and re-submerge in the space of the gallery, are based on ancient maps, historical photos of the 150-year-old building, and art historical elements – whose production, circulation and preservation involves traditional printing techniques. The visual arrangement links the collective and historical with the mental and personal.

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.
