Patron Circles Supported Project
In the multi-channel video installation The Voice That Calls to Itself, Israeli artist Hilla Ben Ari (b. 1972), continues her exploration of figures that have found themselves outside the Israeli cultural consensus. Her intergenerational research has evolved into an ongoing tribute to these figures by highlighting mythical, historical, social, and cultural aspects of their work. This exhibition is the third major project in a series of homages in which she holds an intergenerational and interdisciplinary dialogue between herself and these artists. Visitors to this exhibition will be drawn into an immersive, intimate and carefully choreographed experience of changing states of presence and sound.
The exhibition was made possible by the Ticho House Fund; Israel National Lottery Council for the Arts; Asylum Arts; with additional support from Impact Collections with the assistance of Outset Contemporary Art Fund.
A large room, covered with wood from end to end, is the base layer of Uri Zamir’s exhibition "Delirious Sailing" at the Herzliya Museum, which is supported by Impact Collections. Four objects of varying sized are positioned on it – a large vase with snake-like creatures crawling out of it, or two hands made of one long spiral are just two of the artworks occupying the space. It seems that Zamir had composed an installation that appropriates familiar symbols and shapes, and then abstracts them, alienating them from their common use and meaning. The exhibition is the result of over a year of work under the umbrella of Herzliya Museum’s artists’ incubator, curated by Sally Haftel Naveh. Zamir’s exhibition title, “Delirious Sailing”, was selected because of the unique sensation it conveys of a continuous journey to unknown lands, between fiction and reality, where two dimensions could coexist. For Zamir, such experience could be perceived as both enlightening - connected to parallel beings - but also as a dissociative disorder in which our consciousness splits. The symbolic space he created, layered with primordial knowledge and collective subconsciousness, is devoid of any logic or reason, allowing us to sail between states of consciousness.
