Manofim Tours

We’ll start the tour at Hazira Performance Arts Arena, showcasing Zik Galaxy – the project celebrating 40 years of artistic work by Zik Group. We’ll visit an exhibition of original models and posters from the group’s archive, presented for the first time, and watch Zik Cinema – documentation of the group’s performances, films, and video art created by the members over the years. From there, we’ll head to the Art Cube Artists’ Studios and visit a festive event of open studios, inviting you to go behind the scenes of art: meet the artists, peek into their intimate workspaces, and discover how artworks are made. We’ll wrap up with a visit to the group exhibition Drift, which explores creative processes and the central role that not-knowing has in artistic practice, as well as the solo exhibition by Yael Serlin, Four Cubits, where the artist presents an intimate and exposed artistic journey dealing with the profound grief that hit her family after the death of her son, Yosef Haim Tzvi Serlin, during his military service.

We will begin the tour at the entrance to Hansen House. We will hear the fascinating story of this historic building and then continue to the ‘Victory Arch’ Jerusalem Design Week. We will wander through the many exhibitions that focus on the intersection of sports and design, exploring how ideas of winning, losing, competition, and belonging are translated into a contemporary creative language. At the *Mamuta Art & Research Center*, we’ll see Daniella Meroz’s sculptural video installation ‘Hole in the Heart,’ which transforms the center’s space into a grotesque play gym, where playfulness and ritual are exaggerated and disrupted, and we’ll join a gallery talk with the artist and the curator. Next, we’ll dive into exhibitions I Came to Encourage, The Hall of Fame, The Heat, Sparta, Control Room, and more. Through the dozens of works being presented for the first time, the Jerusalem Design Week offers a fresh reading of sports culture—not just as a stage for achievement but as a social, political, and emotional space.

We will start the tour at the Artists House. There, we will visit exhibitions by four artists: The Dread of Isaac by Ronen Siman-Tov, Periodic Report – The Full Vessel by Stav Rozental, Forever | Exhibition in the 25th Nidbach Series by Tohar Gibber, and Fireflies by Guy L. Levy. From there, we’ll head to the ‘Living Gallery’ at the School of Visual Theater, where we’ll visit the exhibition In the Shadow of God and in the Name of the Father, which brings together historical works from the Schatz family collection with the works of three contemporary artists. We’ll wrap up the tour at Shaham Cultural Lab, with the exhibition Nails, an artistic-visual research project that examines the place and complex meanings of gel nail culture in Israeli society and explores how the field influences and is influenced by local culture and art.
