It’s this moment of the week again, the weather in Tel Aviv is getting a bite chilly and make us want to embrace more indoors activities. Bye Bye beachy days, Hello coziness and artsy weekends dash with comforting red wine. Last week the “Loving Art. Making Art.” project brought interesting art vibes, and there is no doubt that this week’s openings will once again raise the arty level of the White city.
Where to go? What to see? Be ready for an eclectic week.
Larry Abramson – Symptoms
The South African born artist Larry Abramson who grow up and currently works in Israel, will present an ensemble of oil paintings at the Gordon Gallery this week. Abramson is without a doubt a major figure of Israeli art, and an opinionated man who always took position in favour of peace. His artworks are harmoniously mixing figurative art and abstraction. He is using strong symbols and icons to compose his painting. A very political art with a touch of modernism. An exhibition I’m really looking forward to. Note that an artist talk will take place on December 6th.

Alma Shneor – Reflect Or
“Born in Tel Aviv in 1978, Alma Shneor’s practice is defined more by her experimental processes than a specific medium. Trained as a performance artist, Shneor also engages with video and experimental photographic practices that toy with time, layering multiple exposures on each frame of film. This exploratory practice is nonetheless circumscribed by her clear and precise aesthetic “*. I don’t know much about Shneor but discovering pictures with such a strong visual identity over internet, made me want to go visit her solo show at the Julie M. Gallery.

Dvir Gallery New Space Inauguration with three exhibitions
The renowned Dvir Gallery is entering a brand new space, at this occasion the gallery offer us not one but three new exciting exhibitions : I don’t need to introduce you to Lawrence Werner, major figure of Conceptual art, the American artist will surely surprise us with “On Top of The Wind”. Omer Fast is a contemporary Israeli video artist, I’m very looking forward to this exhibition as I didn’t have the chance yet to experience his work in an art space. Working with pornographic images, the artists brings a rawness to “Everything That Rises Must Converge”. Definitely edgy, Mr. Fast said that his goal was to keep his own final product balanced between being “arguably pornography, but also arguably art”**. The third exhibition “Reclining Seurat” will display installations/sculpture by TTI Abergel, Latifa Echakhch and Yudith Levin.
