From focused presentations of international contemporary artists to exhibitions exploring cross-cultural themes, the Museum’s 2016 program embraces topics spanning continents, genres, and time periods. Opening on March 4 as a centerpiece of the Museum’s 2016 season, Pharaoh in Canaan: The Untold Story marks the first-ever exhibition to explore the cross-cultural ties between Egypt and Canaan during the second millennium BCE through an unprecedented display of more than 650 ancient artifacts.

  • Memories from Joav Ran Shechori Every
    Memories from Joav Ran Shechori Every Friday evening, as in a sacred ritual, we would gather in Raffi Lavie’s “living room” which was nothing but a former hen house left from the days when the Ramat Gan neighborhood was still a settlement with family farms. There we would sit – Lavie, Joav BarEl and myself – gorging ourselves on pies made by Ilana, Lavie’s wife, and in between two bites, discussed the future of Israeli art. The three of us were behind the “10+ group” and a series of exhibitions. Raffi was the sole member of 10+ who participated in all of the shows. The underlying concept of 10+’s activity was the principle of “doing things differently” showing works that transcended the artists’ signature style, so as to challenge the seriousness and aura usually attached to artistic practice; and with a hint of playfulness, boldness and self-irony, to experiment with new techniques and materials. Raffi negotiated with gallerists, and together we decided on the themes and participants of each show. Joav and I were both art critics writing in “Haaretz”, so we were in charge of formulating their conceptual reasoning. But there was a heavier side to this playfulness. At the end of the 1960’s, Ofakim Hadashim (Hebrew for “New Horizons”, another group of artists operating at the time in Israel) and its ‘lyrical abstraction’ reigned supreme in the local art scene. That was also a time when French influences were the order of the day at the Tel Aviv Museum, then headed by Haim Gamzo. We were a bunch of young artists seeking recognition, and this was the way to do it.

  • Simblist Dissertation Dec 2 2015
    Copyright by Noah Leon Simblist 2015 The Dissertation Committee for Noah Leon Simblist certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: DIGGING THROUGH TIME: PSYCHOGEOGRAPHIES OF OCCUPATION Committee: Ann Reynolds, Supervisor Tarek El-Ariss, Co-Supervisor Stephennie Mulder George Flaherty Yoav Di-Capua DIGGING THROUGH TIME: PSYCHOGEOGRAPHIES OF OCCUPATION by Noah Leon Simblist, B.A.; M.F.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin December 2015 Acknowledgements I am grateful for the support of my committee, especially my supervisor Ann Reynolds who generously read countless drafts of this dissertation and offered invaluable feedback that helped me to craft my writing to become more clear and precise. My co- supervisor Tarek El Aris was enormously helpful in helping me to conceptualize the relationship between Israel-Palestine and Lebanon, allowing this dissertation to move outside of the common binary of Israel-Palestine. He also was a great help in introducing me to many major figures of the art scene in Beirut. Yoav Di-Capua introduced me to Tarek El-Aris and was the one who suggested that I think about Lebanon as well. But I also learned a great amount from his seminar, especially ways to think through methodologies of historiography. I remember learning some foundational principles about art and architecture of the Islamic and Arab world from a seminar that I took with Stephennie Mulder and have continued to learn from her nuanced look at the legacy of a long and rich cultural history in the region in relation to contemporary art and politics.

  • Processes of Urban Design Preservation and Renewal in Tel-Aviv; Habima Square
    Arquitectonics: urban social and physical networks. Processes of urban design preservation and renewal in Tel- Aviv; HaBima Square Michal Silbiger 1 Processes of urban design preservation and renewal in Tel-Aviv; HaBima Square Based on my MA thesis at the Unit of Culture Research, Tel Aviv University (Silbiger, 2012) Urban planning and restoration have at their basis a need to allocate resources to those who build and design. The process of allotting resources is fundamentally of a social nature, combining individual intentions with communal aspirations. The theoretical framework utilized by urban sociologists to describe this process is eclectic and vastly interdisciplinary. Some sociologists of the city draw a connection between urban development and economic forces. Others call upon cultural ties based on interpersonal relationships and the multifaceted fabric that these relationships engender (also but not limited to socio-economic elements) as key points to understanding the urban makeup. The latter school of thought believes that the physical construction of the city bears testament to the beliefs and ambitions of diverse communities within the city who join forces to create the urban landscape. Such conceptualization of the forces operating within the city sees cultural symbols as a collective ideal made possible by a localization process that symbols undergo in order to make them emblematic of a given city. These symbols become hallmarks of the city, generating a local culture and forms of symbolizing it. The present paper will examine the cultural occurrences that have taken place in the case of HaBima Square from this latter multi-systemic approach, as defined by Even-Zohar (2004).
