"Shelf Life" is the central exhibition in an exhibition cluster concerned with collecting, collections and collectors, which is scheduled to open in February 2010 at the Haifa Museum of Art. The exhibition will demonstrate how contemporary Israeli and international artists relate in their works to a range of collecting practices; it will explore the aesthetic syntax of different collections, and examine some of the psychological aspects of collecting and of the artist-collector's obsessive world.

The 1980's were a period of great changes in the Israeli art field. And although only a fraction of these came to full fruition during the decade itself, several of the period's cultural trends – even if manifest then only in embryonic form – were to continue exerting an influence on both the field itself and contemporary artistic creation and its reception.
