"Wow, what an absurdity " - a kicking artistic event
On a day when there was an opening for something new, against the background of a joint viewing of the election sample, there will be a protest evening that responds to the disturbing political situation and the stalemate with humor,

Among the participants: Assaf Rahat, Rafat Hattab, Assaf Romano, Liav Mizrachi, Nehama Golan, Hanna Ashuri and others ..
Tuesday and Friday, April 9-12, at the refrigerator complex, 90 Hasmonean St., Tel Aviv.
Festive opening - on Tuesday, April 9, from 19:00 to the small hours, refreshments and alcohol.

While most Israeli citizens will already exercise their democratic right, selected artists will present their feelings about the situation, in an artistic way.
An art event on the eve of the 2015 elections took place for the first time in the legendary "Mashuna" gallery, opened by young artists Oren Fischer and Anton Abramov. The exhibition was curated by Liav Mizrahi, an artist, teacher and curator.
The event at the time - declared itself an art exhibition that hopes to be a place of faith and hope that art plays an important role in creating change. In other words, art has a political role, as the art tradition from the beginning of the twentieth century until today.

This is not the case this time. The reality of the current event is different; The participating artists no longer believe in this or that role of art. But present the artist's act of free choice as a tense, torn, absurd place that leads to a paralyzing experience.
The refrigerator complex - in the wholesale market, where modern and fresh art is happening, has opened its doors to host the artists, helpless and impoverished, just like Buridan's donkey, stuck between two haystacks, paralyzed by the power of a decision that can not be realized.
According to the organizers, "We are not relevant, we will not bring about any change, and we have no role, and certainly not essential." In the boring reality, we will lean on each other in chaos: "Wow, what an absurdity." We create it by grabbing it in an urgent moment, in a marginal situation, hesitantly, hoping that apart from us there will be present who and who will be expected to share with us in the disturbing political process, through so bright and aesthetic screens that dazzle us, play well, distract. And what is this concern for our hearts? "

"Wow, what an absurdity" is a gloomy event, imbued with black humor and without joy. And if there would be a moment or two of contentment here, do not worry, it's temporary. During the event, the election and sample broadcasts will be screened on the screens for joint viewing by artists and the general public.
