A three-day workshop, which will take place on 13-15/10, meeting every day between the hours 10:00-13:00 at the School of Visual Theatre. Registration is possible for the entire workshop only, partial attendance or switching between workshops, will not be permitted.

In this workshop, we will experience the drawing medium as a base for a practice of observation and expression. Drawing as a daily practice and as a way of thinking. The medium of drawing can serve us as a tool for the investigation of time, space and the mind, learning about the becoming of an image, composition and the act of observation.

We will work using different materials, get closer to the imagery that intuitively and emotionally interests each person. During the workshop, alongside practical exercises, we will discuss interesting artists who use drawing as a tool to expand their mind, their thinking and their sense of the world that surrounds them. We will focus on artists who thought of space through a 2D medium, about stage, movement, expanse. We will read short texts by James Hillman, Paul Klee, William Blake; discuss the appearance of images and our need in imagery and observation. 

Talia Keinan is a multidisciplinary artist, creating installations where different mediums are entwined: sculpture, drawing, light projections, video and sound. In her work, she aspires to create autonomous spaces, gardens, with singular rhythms, sense of time/temporality and light. The viewer is invited to wander through them, to experience the place simultaneously as an assembly of details, and as a whole. The different details of the installation, based on the effect of appearance and disappearance in varying rhythms, congregate to create a place with unique qualities, alternating between the dream-like and the earthly. The drawing medium is at the base of her practice as a daily routine, and it serves as the foundation of her research of image and observation. In her exhibitions, the borders of mediums are blurred and intertwined.Keinan presented shows in Israel and abroad, and her pieces are included in selected private and museum collections. She holds a BA (2003) and MFA (2005) from Bezalel Arts Academy. In 2003, she participated in a student exchange program and attended the SVA in New York. She was awarded with several prizes for excellence, among them are the Elhanani Prize, Givon Prize, Anselm Kiefer Wolf Prize, Gottesdiener Prize and the creation encouragement prize. Keinan has been a lecturer in Bezalel Academy since 2006.
