Guy Ben-Ner, If only it was as Easy to Banish Hunger by Rubbing the Belly as it is to Masturbate, 2009
Artis is proud to announce a weekend-long program at the Tate Modern, London, that surveys recent video work from Israel and examines practices that have emerged from a culture marked by the contested spaces of a war torn society and the complex emotions of life on the brink.
Artists Yael Bartana, Guy Ben-Ner, and Roee Rosen will present individual focus screenings of their work. In addition, two group screenings focused on the private and public sphere will include videos by Boaz Arad, Yossi Atia & Itamar Rose, Keren Cytter, Uri Katzenstein, Dana Levy, Shahar Marcus, Roee Menachem Markovich, Avi Mograbi, Miri Segal, Ruti Sela & Maayan Amir, Doron Solomons, Malki Tesler, Amir Yatziv, and Lior Waterman & Amit Levinger.
The program is curated by Sergio Edelsztein, Director of The Center for Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv and is supported by by Artis - Contemporary Israeli Art Fund; the British Israeli Arts Training Scheme - BIARTS - a British Council initiative in partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture and Sport in Israel; The Center for Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv; Outset Contemporary Art Fund; Wendy Fisher; Guy and Marion Naggar; Vivian Ostrovsky and the Ostrovsky Family Fund.
