Rings of Saturn / Dvir galleryטלפון - 03-6043003 10/09/2009 to - 24/10/2009 Dvir Gallery is happy to announce the opening of its new space in 11 Nitzana Street, Jaffa, with the group exhibition: Rings of Saturn Opening Thursday, 10.9.2009, at 20:00 Participating artists are Nelly Agassi, Barak Ravitz, Hillel Roman, Karen Russo and Yanai Toister who will exhibit new works. The exhibition pays tribute to W.G. Sebalds book Rings of Saturn, recently published in Hebrew. In August 1992, W.G. Sebald set off on a walking tour of Suffolk, one of England's least populated and most striking counties. Initially, his tour was a carefree one. Soon, however, Sebald was to happen upon a series of encounters ''traces of destruction, reaching far back into the past''. Rings of Saturn is his record of these travels, a phantasmagoria of fragments and memories, fraught with dizzying knowledge and desperation and shadowed by mortality. Past and present intermingle as the living come to seem like supernatural apparitions while the dead are vividly present. List of works: Nelly Agassi: Tears Meter, a new video work. Barak Ravitz: a series of sculptural pieces assembled out of office paraphernalia. The nearly flat sculptures relate to the tradition of academic drawing and its imbedded tendency towards recreating views or horizons the viewer can penetrate through. Hillel Roman: Absorbing Horn, an object built according to a childhood memory of an erstwhile safety device used to protect against random radiation. The device, part of laser and microwave research history, has since been rendered obsolete. Karen Russo: Target: 090913 977 (Silberschlag Crater on Moon), a video and sculptural work which explores the possibility of applying remote viewing the psychic ability to see and describe geographically remote places to outer space. The work was recently shown at Deceitful Moon, an exhibition at the Hayward Gallery. Yanai Toister: Plank Piece I-II, two black-and-white photographs, 95x120 cm, showing stained wooden boards leaned against a wall. The work addresses Plank Piece I-II, a seminal work by American artist Charles Ray. Opening hours: Tuesday to Thursday, 16:0019:00; Fridays and Saturdays, 10:0013:00. Exhibition through: 24.10.2009. location - Dvir gallery Time - 10/09/2009 to - 24/10/2009 |
