City Museum | From 20 May
Relationships between people define, shape, and sometimes completely transform us. But what about a relationship in which not all parties are human? Our relationship with the city we live in, for example? And what kinds of actions – small or large – shape the encounter between the residents of a city and the place they inhabit?
The exhibition “Street Level” presents nineteen new works by artists active in Tel Aviv-Yafo and unfolds throughout the museum – from the upper floors to the courtyard.
This is the museum’s annual art exhibition, part of its rotating program that invites creators from the city to develop works specifically around a changing theme.
Just as the term “sea level” refers to the meeting point between land and sea, “street level” explores the point of contact between the city and its residents. What are the conditions of this encounter? What are the terms of this gaze?
What is required of us to see the city – and what is required of the city to look back at us?
The works in the exhibition offer a range of materials, emotions, perspectives, and visual languages – from the poetic to the political, from the personal to the collective.
