Group Exhibit – Two Moons on the Shore, a Wind-Up Bird in Norwegian Wood: Haruki Murakami and Contemporary Art
Contemporary by Golconda is located in a old beautiful building a minute away from Rothschild. Focusing on both Israeli and international contemporary art scene, the gallery will present this Thursday a new exhibition curated by Ayelet Zohar.
“Haruki Murakami, possibly Japan’s most notable contemporary author, is known for his juxtaposing style, mixing elements from the mundane, real and fantastic worlds. Like weaving fabric, Murakami’s way of employing varying sources into one continuous plot has a strong cinematic quality, hence attracting visual attention. This exhibition does not necessarily refer to specific Murakami imagery, but is more concerned with his literary strategies: dissecting, cutting and pasting, integrating features that otherwise seemingly reside in worlds apart”*.
Artists : Asim Abu Shakra, Farid Abu Shakra, Tasuku Amada (Japan), Yoonsaing Baik (Korea/ Japan), Dror Ben-Ami, Sanford Biggers (USA), Pesi Girsch, Natsumi Hayashi (Japan), Andrea Hazan, Penny Klepuszewska (UK), Meiro Koizumi (Japan), Nashun Nashunbatu (Mongolia/ Germany), Ayelet Zohar.

Group Exhibit – Common Ground
Currated by Annabelle Shemer, the new group exhibition of the P8 Gallery is a perfect representation of the cooperative spirit.
“The exhibition “Common Ground” is a result of the members’ will to exhibit together in P8 cooperative gallery. This exhibition, where each member invited another artist for a small duo-exhibition, is an examination of partnership and collaboration, raising a rather fundamental question: whether a framework founded on a practical basis could lead to artistic insights“**.

Aline Alagem – Artist talk
The Israeli artist is going to host a talk about her third solo exhibition at the Artstation Gallery.
“The core of Aline Alagem’s third solo exhibition is the image. Alagem seeks to clarify its validity and role, as an outcome of an intensive research. Alagem’s works reveal peaks of beauty and passion and examine the characteristics of the emotional ecstasy it evokes in the viewers“***.
