Afterwards we will visit “Recollection”, a contemporary art exhibition in which the works were all made with reference to the photography collection of the Israel Museum (curated by Tamara Abramovitch and Ilanit Konopny). Approaching the end of the tour, we will walk towards Nahalat Shiv’a, where we will see two outdoor sculptures by the artist Moshe Shek, and we will eventually arrive at the Vision Gallery to meet Noah Folberg, who founded and manages the gallery, for a conversation about photography and a glimpse of the gallery’s collection.
