----------------------------------

In order to comprehend the language of contemporary art, one must be equipped with eyes wide-open (figuratively speaking) and a constant awareness to contexts and references. Only then may appreciation, criticism and measurement follow.

 

The purpose of this website is to open a window to my work, as I am sharing 15 years of my activity in the curating field. I focused on initiating curative projects through working with hundreds of Israeli artists, writing about their work, curating thematic group exhibitions, positioning in different spaces and working within the public domain.

 

In my new Blog, I write current art reviews and recommendations.

In the Paris-Diaries I share some of my experiences during the time of my residency in Paris, appointed by the Ministry of Culture.

The solo and groups exhibitions presented in the site are a small selection from a large sum of exhibitions I have curated.
