Jan Tichy, Installation No. 5 (Threshold) (2008), Installation Shot

Mr. & Mrs. Amani Olu (formerly Amani olu Projects), in conjunction with PPOW, is pleased to present Young Curators, New Ideas III, an experimental exhibition that investigates current positions in contemporary art through the perspective of six curators. Exhibiting curators include Andrew Russeth & Liza Buzytsky, Erin Dziedzic, Kate Greenberg & Hilary Schaffner, Stamatina Gregory, Gabriella Hiatt, and James Shaeffer.

Jan Tichy, Dimona (2006), mixed media

Dimona: It is a beautiful name for something that long refused to exist. Built secretly in Israel's Negev Desert in 1956, the Dimona nuclear facility was initially the stuff of rumor. Even US intelligence agencies didn't uncover its purpose until the 1960s, and for decades it was absent from any publicly available photographs or maps.

Installation No. 6 (Tubes) (2009), video installation

Jan Tichy’s installations address the multi-layered narratives of urban spaces and architectural contexts. Using light as his medium, his site-specific commission will animate the ground floor vestibule. His minimalist approach leaves his works open to interpretation, focusing attention on the impact of his materials to transform our experience.

Yitzhak Livne, Sinking Boat, 2001

Thirteen artists, six women and seven men, participate in Part II of the exhibition Family/Tree, with paintings, sculptures and installations. The age gap between them is over forty years, and in this sense they represent several generations and different artistic approaches in Israeli art. However, the works are all from a limited period – the past decade, from 2000 onwards, except for one work dated 1996. As expected, there is similarity in the works, derived from the historical and artistic periods alike: a note of pessimism and elegy.
