Summary:
The rising Copenhagen painter Tal R, born in Israel and represented in New York by Zach Feuer Gallery and in Berlin by Contemporary Fine Arts, here presents new works composed in a palette limited to unmixed brown, red, orange, white, pink, yellow and green. Tal R's painting is fundamentally borne up by a collage principle where the narrative is increasingly subsumed in certain abstract ground rules. With splashing brush and slapdash layering, he paints gleefully in impossible materials, with undisguised clashes and references in the content. This monographic exhibition catalogue says something with painting, not about painting. The design is perfect.

Summary:
This monograph documents the holistic nature of the design philosophy established by Tel Aviv-based architects Irene Kronenberg and Alon Baranowitz, where space, form and materials are expressly employed to enhance human experience and social interaction. Incorporating culture, time and place in the design process is fundamental to their approach. In this book, the architects offer a personal analysis of the thinking behind seven of their projects, illustrated by extensive plans, models and photos. Included are the Tel Aviv restaurants Jaffa Tel Aviv and Deca, the Israel Museum shop, Amsterdam’s Palace Hotel and Sir Albert Hotel and Izakaya, and Villa Pi.

Summary:
This publication explores the contested territory between the state and corporate drive to 'securitise' urban space – and the principle of the city as a site for enacting open civil society, participatory democracy, and the freedom of speech and assembly.

Summary:
This publication explores the contested territory between the state and corporate drive to 'securitise' urban space – and the principle of the city as a site for enacting open civil society, participatory democracy, and the freedom of speech and assembly. Starting from the disputed redevelopment of the Oslo Government Quarter since its attack in 2011, the book functions as a broader discursive platform mediating opposing positions at the intersection of architecture/urbanism and security/democracy. The book interposes essays, interviews, site drawings, a lexicon of terms, and photo-essays documenting fieldwork in the UK, USA, Israel, Palestine and Spain.

Summary:
After living for several years in the chaos of influences that is New York, the visual artist Satoshi Tsuchiyama realized that it is Israel that is the world’s hub for contemporary dance. His experiences of working with both dance and Jewish artefacts fused together. Questions arose in his head: Since the political situation has long been unstable in this religiously and culturally rich region, what kind of normal everyday life can be found there? What colours and scents does a country like this retain, and how do the dancers appear and move under the influence of an environment like this? He decided to go there to witness the extraordinary on a daily basis. During his four visits to Israel and Palestine in 2017–19, he wandered in scorching sand and graffiti-filled streets, climbed to the collapsing top floor of the art school. He followed the desires of his eyes. The dancers he met came from all over the world, but they seemed to share the same mood, the same force that oozed out of the ground. And one and the same aura accompanied their bodies in a common direction. He avoided all the areas at high risk of terror, but death and the random character of life were present wherever he went. The energy of the inhabitants to survive was strong, and he experienced a singular beauty in this raw, tough and vulnerable ordeal of perseverance and adaptation.

Summary:
The direct and indirect influence of politics is making it increasingly clear that exhibitions have an inherent political dimension. This “Exhibition Politics” issue reveals the often conflicting interests that collide in the exhibition space and analyzes how institutions in particular react to an increasingly intense situation with symbolic and real political actions. Its dual focus examines, on the one hand, the visual regimes and mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion that manifest themselves within the exhibition space and, on the other hand, the concrete debates about culture cuts and the question of how aspects of the Israel-Palestine conflict can be addressed in the exhibition space in the wake of October 7th.

Summary:
This book brings together sixteen photographs made by Thomas Struth in Israel and the Israeli-occupied West Bank in 2009, 2011 and 2014. Struth continued his practice of creating singular images, each within one of the strictly segregated subject fields he has developed through his career: street photographs, portraits, landscapes and photographs of high technology. Each image carries the enduring complexity and visual distillation of human experience for which Struth is known. Approaching the sheer diversity and quiddity of the inhabited world, he attempts to represent what he has referred to as “a particle of the conflict of the region”, to photograph, fragment by fragment, the conflicted political and social landscape.

Summary:
This photobook tells the story of a society living through a recurring loop of violent outbursts, in which, time and again, life is shattered into pieces and reconstructed. Photographer Noa Ben-Shalom chooses not to picture the more obvious scenes of direct violence, instead bringing into focus the subtle way the apparently never-ending conflict between Israel and Palestine has permeated all aspects of life in the two regions – almost without being noticed. Through poignant personal correspondence (in English, Arabic, and Hebrew) and images gathered between 2000–2014, Ben-Shalom enables quiet introspection within a landscape in which the absurd has become the norm.

Summary:
For Jungjin Lee, photographing the landscape is an exploration of her own mind – the introspective states of the artist, whose photographic gaze is insistent and transformative. Her latest project Unnamed Road approaches the contested territories of Israel and the West Bank by turning to the landscape. Her black-and-white images are self-contained worlds of stillness and wonder, as Lee searches for something constant in the life of the landscape. Her images suggest that despite the semblance of fluctuation, some fundamental truths do not alter: just as the surface of the ocean is constantly in flux, its depths in fact remain unchanged and enduring.
