6th Exhibition in the 18th Nidbach series Guy Nissenhaus: Cu / The Jerusalem Artists Houseטלפון - 02-6253653 31/08/2013 to - 12/10/2013 Guy Nissenhaus, a BFA graduate in Shenkar's new Multidisciplinary Art Department, presents a site-specific sculpture installation. The installation was specially built for Nidbach exhibition space at the Artists' House in Jerusalem. In the work titled ''Cu'' Nissenhaus creates a sculpture of a swamp. As if inlaying precious stones in a jewel, Nissenhaus inserts dry reeds through thin plywood, glazed by a black shiny surface. A copper wire net captures this ''cut out'' of a swamp as a hunter's trap would an animal, uproots it of its habitat, lifting it up and disclaiming the basic rules of gravitation so inseparable to a swamp's nature. Nissenhaus mocks the perception of nature as a source of truth, and puts forward a rival reality to concreteness, where a swamp's surface reflects nothing but itself, creating an expressive and internal image.
