Souvenirs
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.
