Neta Bar Zion "Second-Hand Artifacts" 2019: "Images culled second-hand stores and photo albums coalesce with the glaze and pottery shards. The assimilation of photographs into the resilient ceramic material will preserve the stories of the depicted figures even when they are long gone."
Gali Cnaani, Roni Cnaani, Shiri Cnaani, Alice Dahan: "Stop.Motion" 2019
Cotton, wool, polyester, paper, photography, digital print, transfer print, weaving, video
"Overturning the conventional sequence of a fashion shoot. The photographed images were disassembled and used as the raw materials for the new works, which examine different aspects of craft and digital processing."
Avital Avital, "SYNA, Creatures"
Porcelain, Wheel-made, hand sculpted
"The pulverized grains from which porcelain is made resemble flower pollen. First liquified, it is then hardened in the kiln. The artist attends to the life cycle of flowers and sea creatures, while shattering the limits of ceramic medium."
Ronit Baranga "The Cake"
clay, acrylic paint, bones
"Through a dialogue between 'savage' characters and an object of temptation the work undermines familiar heirarchies, transforming a seemingly naïve situation into a subversive and surreal composition."
Margot Gran, "The Column Scrolls"
Water Color
"Seven watercolors on aquarelle paper rolls may be unfurled as scrolls, become a sculpture, or present an alternative narrative."
Boris Shpeizman "Rise of the Lollipop Man" 2019
Glass, Metal
"This surreal, heavenly glass motorcycle, composed of 200 hand-blown parts, is a real tour de force. Associated with masculinity, the work addresses issues of gender roles and stereotypes."
Yochi Shrem, "Happy Genetica" 2019
Wool, aliminum mesh, hand knitting
"Hand Knit objects are inspired by chromosomes and proteins that participate in biological processes. Imitating the growth of hydroponic vegetation, which grows without soil, the work resembles an overturned field with no roots."
Zila Friedman, "Scrolls" Pen, tracing paper, pigment
