Tel Aviv-Yafo Mayor Ron Huldai: “Culture is the lifeblood of the first Hebrew city since its inception, and we are determined to bring the world of culture back to activity. The public consumes a lot of culture and the creators long for exposure, so the activity outside also allows for free access to art – a very valuable action against the background of the economic crisis that has affected so many. “

Augustas Serapinas, Chair for the Invigilator (white)

EU Ambassador to Israel Emanuele Giaufret: “The European Union is delighted to have found a way to ‘open the skies’ between Europe and Israel, as well as support the crucial role the cultural sector plays in our societies. The connections between the EU and Israel in culture and arts are a bedrock of our relationship, and we will stand behind them.”

Head of the Culture Department, Giora Yahalom: “Every ordinary year, “Loving art, Making Art” serves as one of the highlights of the culture department – a group photo of everything relevant and new in the field of visual art in the city. However this year we feel it is a double victory – not just an impressive curatorial and production effort but our ability not to succumb to circumstances and plague and show that this city will continue to enable and support the talents of the creative forces and expose them to the general public  despite the situation.”

“Loving Art. Making Art.” is an initiative of the Arts Department of the Culture Division of the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality, which is being held for the 18th year. Its challenging production this year joins a string of actions the municipality has taken in recent months – from the outbreak of the corona virus to the present day, to help artists in the city.

12 – 14 November 2020

There may be changes in the program in accordance with the guidelines of the Ministry of Health according to the purple mark due to the limitations of the corona.

INFRASTRUCTURE, NATURE

HEIMO ZOBERNIG, INFRASTRUCTURE, NATURE 2020

INFRASTRUCTURE, NATURE lauten die Einschreibungen in Heimo Zobernigs neueste Bilder. Mit schlagwortartigen Schriften adressiert Zobernig regelmäßig Themenkreise wie formalistischen Modernismus, Ökonomismus, aber auch Spiritualität und andere Aspekte der Kunstausübung. Waren REAL, REAL EGAL, Anfang der 90er Jahre eingeführte Termini, so fungierten FUCK PAINTING, FORMALISMUS, FINANCIAL TRANSACTION TAX, PAINTING, PAINTING SCULPTURE, FUCK PAINTING SCULPTURE oder PERFORMANCE PAINTING SCULPTURE als Textbausteine einer Malereiausstellung in der Galerie im Jahre 2011.

Achim Hochdörfer: „1994 findet das Bildmotiv REAL seinen Weg in die Malerei, und in den folgenden Jahren entstehen über 50 weitere Variationen. Als Malerei ist der Begriff REAL nun plötzlich ganz neu konnotiert. Er steht nun mit einem anti-modernistischen, konzeptuellen Bildbegriff in Verbindung, der die verwendeten Ausdrucksmittel als buchstäbliche Realitäten exponiert. Paradoxerweise sind die geometrischen Formen in ihrer optischen Präsenz und Wucht durchaus einer formalistischen Tradition verpflichtet. Es ist, als würde Zobernig auf das Reale des ästhetischen Scheins insistieren und damit dem Schisma zwischen Optikalität und Literalismus eine Absage erteilen. Entscheidend an der REAL-Bildserie ist, dass ein Bildmotiv den Weg von seiner funktionalistischen Kontextualisierung zurück in die Malerei findet. (…) Nicht mehr die Malerei stellt die Verhältnisse zu anderen künstlerischen Bereichen her, sondern diese drängen in die Malerei hinein.“ 1)

In formaler Hinsicht fällt auf, dass sich das für Zobernigs jüngere Bilder typische Umranken des jeweiligen Schriftgitters durch die Komposition farbiger Bildelemente in zunehmendem Maße verdichtet, indem das im Laufe der Zeit immer komplexer werdende Verhältnis zwischen Text und Bild beinahe bis zur Ununterscheidbarkeit verschwimmt. Die Schrift scheint von Licht und Farbe oft gänzlich aufgezehrt zu werden. Die explizite Verwendung der Begriffe INFRASTRUCTURE und NATURE adressiert essenzielle Kunstdiskurse, indem sie den von Claude Lévi-Strauss aufgebrachten ethnologischen Strukturalismus in Erinnerung bringt, der die Frage aufwirft, ob empirische, aber gänzlich relative Gegensatzpaare wie roh und gekocht oder frisch und faul, die in Mythen eine fast leitmotivische Rolle spielen, etwas über ihre Struktur verraten, über die Syntax, die ihnen zugrunde liegt, über den „unbewussten Geist“, der in ihnen wirkt. Keinesfalls ist demnach das zivilisatorisch Gekochte geistig-kognitiv dem Rohen überlegen, denn beides sind nur Varianten jener gleichartigen Verfahrensweisen, für welche Lévi-Strauss den Begriff „wildes Denken“ als Kennzeichnung einführte. Der „Primitive“ sei nicht etwa trieb- statt vernunftgesteuert, sondern bearbeite nicht weniger „vernünftig“ – sondern einfach nur anders – konkreteres Material, dabei aber mit anderen Zielen und stärker im Modus der Bastelei.

This piece is part of a new series of works dealing with children and childhood in the shadow of war and conflict.The playfulness of children, even in times of conflict remains a deep childhood memory of mine. Even in the most impossible of realities, young minds are able to find creative solutions.Triggered by my own childhood experiences, and in addition to the current COVID-19 crisis, this sculpture presents a young boy wearing a mask against tear gas in which he has placed an onion.

Gaza’s onion boy: My goal is to take back my grandparents’ landImage of Mohamed Ayyash using an onion mask to protect himself from Israeli tear gas went viral on social media.

Der Nationalismus schottet uns von einander ab

Who am I?

I was born in 1980 in occupied Palestine. Borders, checkpoints and the feeling of being caged has been a constant experience throughout my life and naturally became a main subject of my artistic work.My personal struggle against borders increased in the past years. My marriage to an Israeli woman emphasized how separated and segregated Palestinians and Israelis are from each other. My personal fight to break those borders and my struggle to leave Palestine has driven me to concentrate on my artistic work, as a tool of communication with my surrounding, to speak out against these forces.
