How to Catch a Witch / Alfred Galleryטלפון - 052-8014848 28/03/2019 to - 26/04/2019 The exhibition consists of a search for the origin of the witch's archetypal image. The journey passes through a series of installations that divide the gallery into four areas: the grave on the mountain; The forest; The hybrid between man and beast; the cave. The works and the manner in which they are erected are reminiscent of ritual activity.
Translated using Google translate.The exhibition was inspired by the "witch from Chilazon," buried in archaeological excavations on behalf of the Hebrew University in the cave of Hilazon in the Western Galilee. The grave contained a 12,000-year-old skeleton of a crippled woman who probably dealt with shamanism. Alongside the skeleton, there were also unusual offerings: 50 tortoiseshells, the hip bones of a tiger and a human foot. The ancient shamanic tomb, the only one of its kind in the Middle East, invites us to become acquainted with the forgotten local matriarchal history. Today, in certain Feminist circles, the witch character has become a symbol of a symbol of feminine power. This change is part of a struggle to achieve equality between the sexes and the breaking of patriarchal social concepts. In a personal interpretation of the yearning for a lost reality, the bridge that was burned, and the desire to bridge between the past and the familiar reality, the participating artists face collective memories that they must map, burn and sacrifice to create a new reality. The journey begins with an installation made of patches and connections between cloths, threads, various crafts and pieces of wood by Inbal Limor Pfeffer, which appears from the depths of the imaginary mountain "Ein Kivur". Through a ceremonial and spiritual entrance gate, the visitors enter the thick forest of Elena Cherty Stein, a forest of bone-shaped white rock sculptures with a fountain hidden between them. In the third area of the voyage: Cornelia Renz shows crosses of animals with intertwined animals in the background of Zionist landscapes, painted with pigmented markers on canvas. The end of the journey in the fourth area - the Black Cave - in which Inbal Mendes Flor presents large-scale phosphorescent paintings. location - Alfred Gallery Time - 28/03/2019 to - 26/04/2019 Exhibition opening - 28/03/2019, שעה - 20:00 Link - https://www.alfredinstitute.org/eng/alfred-institute-welcome |
