I (almost) forgot how different the Israeli contemporary art scene is compared to the one in Europe. After few months spent between Brussels, Paris and London it’s refreshing to be back in Tel Aviv where art is definitely far less institutionalized and way more accessible.
To celebrate the return of a new art season, I picked up 5 shows that are opening this evening in the white city. As usual feel free to add your recommendations in the comment section bellow.
