Avi Lubin
Short text: Five years after Gideon Gechtman’s death, the exhibition seeks to carry out a new work postmortem of Gechtman in collaboration with Miri Segal. The joint exhibition, curated by Avi Lubin, will realize together with the artist’s widow Bat Sheva Gechtman (Zeisler) an artwork that is based on an abstract and general dialogue that took place between the two artists. One of the key questions the exhibition wishes to examine is whether and when can the artwork be attributed to Gechtman, an artist that death was a central motif in his work? How can it be realized when he cannot take part in the conceptual and visual decisions? The exhibition, which also includes individual works by Gechtman and Segal, will take place alongside an extensive retrospective of Gechtman’s works at the Israel Museum Jerusalem.
