LoVid is the New York-based interdisciplinary artist duo Tali Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus. Their work includes live video installations, sculptures, digital prints, patchworks, media projects, performances, and video recordings. They combine many opposing elements, contrasting hard electronics and soft patchworks; handmade items and machine-produced objects; and analog and digital. This multidirectional approach is reflected in the content of their work, simultaneously romantic and aggressive, wireless and wire-full.

 Herzliya Museum - Eventually We'll Die: Young Art in Israel of the
Nineties
April 21 - August 9, 2008
Info
The concluding decade of both a century and a millennium, the 1990s in
Israel were characterized by a cultural boom, fueled by the euphoria over
the Oslo Accords and the dream of a New Middle East, and by an opening to
and cultural simultaneity with the world at large. The 1990s were also the
decade in which Israeli art most distinctively assimilated the postmodern
discourse, in the form of extensive preoccupation with the politics of
identity, feminism, Orientalism and homosexuality. This is also the decade
which marked the return of video as a major artistic medium alongside a
prosperity of photography and a sweeping presence of the installation
medium, especially site-specific installations.
Including work by Ohad Meromi, Nir Hod, Roee Rosen, Asim Abu-Shakra, Uri
Tzaig, Meir Gal, Miriam Cabessa, Adi Nes, Avner Ben-Gal, Hila Lulu Lin and
more.
Curator: Doron Rabnina
