True Time: Second Chapter

The gallery is presenting the theatrical exhibition “True Time,” featuring the artists Yael Bartana, Dori Cohen Forster, and Omer Sheizaf, curated by Ana Wild. Shani Kagan will appear in the role of gallery guard.

From the moment the exhibition opens until it closes, the works in it evolve; like a television series whose plot develops from week to week, each of the works on display has three chapters – they live and change over the course of the exhibition.

The second chapter will open on October 1st, and will be shown for one week. The visit to the exhibition is a performance: the gallery guard will lead visitors on a tour among the works.

Omer Sheizaf presents “The Invisible Man Remembers”: Danidin, from the book series by On Sarig, takes stock of his life. Still seeing-yet-unseen, Danidin is bodiless – he is the theatrical effect that brings back to life the traumas of his youth. The second chapter is called “Let Forever Be.”

The second chapter of artist Yael Bartana‘s trilogy “And Europe Will Be Stunned…” is called “Mur i wieża, Wall and Tower” (2009) and shows members of the fictional “Jewish Renaissance Movement in Poland” establishing a wall-and-tower settlement in the park adjacent to the Warsaw Ghetto.

Dori Cohen Forster‘s work “After” traces Maya Deren and Alexander Hackenschmied into the time loop of their film “Meshes of the Afternoon.” In the film, a woman returns home and becomes trapped in a symbolic, enigmatic dream sequence in which time folds in on itself. Layers of images, objects, sound, text, and actions pile up on top of the silent film.
