I have a German name and citizenship but was raised in Switzerland and Canada and most of my life lived in Israel, where I am still often working as an artist. I have always been focused on painting and drawing. I see it as a beautiful and fascinating language, with endless possibilities and ideas. The theme of Negotiated identity is an integral part of my work as an artist. My primary interest is in exploring what it means to make a painting today: how to balance art history, contemporary practices and the current overwhelming visual culture to find a distinctive path amidst it all. With Autobiography as my main subject, I compose versatile paintings that shift from large-format scenes with an illustrative flair, to muted portraits marked by colour and spatial contrast.

8 Ha'Amal Street, Tel aviv

Artport are pleased to present the local version of the New York-based exhibition Living as Form – exhibited in New York in 2011 by the art organization Creative Time and has since been shown in local versions around the world in collaboration with ICI.
“Living as Form” presents the wide variety of socially involved art and its various modes of operation around the world as well as in Israel. From a ship that goes out to extraterrestrial water and operates abortions in countries where it is forbidden to a choir singing complaints from around the world, from Vic Moniz’s work with garbage sorters in Brazil to the foreign workers’ library at Levinsky Garden in southern Tel Aviv, from the destroyed homes Chris Lowe has rebuilt in Texas to giant chalks placed by Allora & Calzadilla throughout the world, “Living as Form” presents art that tries to change reality.
Socially involved art challenges traditional artistic discourse as it adopts goals and techniques from non-art related fields and mixes the various categories – community work, urban planning, civic agendas, tradition preservation, revolutions and more. It is often difficult to define them as art, but it is always interesting and important to test and try to define their influence.
By nature it is difficult to view these actions in the gallery. The archival representation – through images, video and text is a mere pale shadow of the real action that has taken place. And yet, the phenomenon’s scope, the wide geographic range, and diverse nature of those actions, indicate the way such works fit into the social and political arena and become part of a new reality.
The original exhibition was presented by Creative Time in New York, 2011, curated by Nato Thompson
Local version curators: Vardit Gross, Sigal Barnir, and Yael Moriah Klein. Advisor: Leah Abir.
Participants include the Architecture Biennale in Bat Yam, Artim Orginization (Levinsky Library), Angelo Burgo Cobro, Susan Lacey, Katrina Sade, Alora and Calzadilla, Vic Muniz, Rick Lowe, Ai Weiwei, Bread and Roses, Amir Tomashov, Nissan Almog, Meir Tati and many others.

In collaboration with the Heidelberg Police, the Heidelberg Fire brigades and volunteers Produced by the Heidelberg Theatre
Excerpt from a news report, RNF TV channel, Germany
In the early 1970s, following a violent student uprising and ongoing riots with the police, arrests and injuries, universities in Germany were declared as autonomous spaces where state officials cannot enter unconditionally and any performance of state violence is forbidden. This was understood as a way to guarantee academic freedom and the constitutional rights to freedom of expression and assembly. Since then till today, the police does not enter the university territory without the special and explicit invitation of the head of the university.
Public Movement proposed to perform this norm while suggesting a new day of training, questioning and stretching the actuality of laws but activating a new area for the public to perform.
Public Movement occupied the University’s main building and the University Square. Together with 16 policemen and 40 firefighters, Public Movement organized a public behavior drill, an examination in citizenship.
A screening process at the University entrance including physical checks and a seating plan, a procedure in a lecture hall, police questioning in the corridor, police arrests, a demonstration and an emergency evacuation drill led by the fire brigades. The action ended in street party on University Square.
Public Movement is a performative research body which investigates and stages political actions in public spaces. It studies and creates public choreographies, forms of social order, overt and covert rituals. Among Public Movement’s actions in the past and in the future: manifestations of presence, fictional acts of hatred, new folk dances, synchronised procedures of movement, spectacles, marches, inventing and reenacting moments in the life of individuals, communities, social institutions, peoples, states, and of humanity.
In the last six years, Public Movement has explored the regulations, forces, agents, and policies, formations of identity and systems of ritual which govern the dynamics of public life and public space. The Movement was founded in November 2006 by Omer Krieger and Dana Yahalomi, the later assumed sole leadership in 2011.
Public Movement has taken responsibility for the following actions: “Accident” (2006), “The Israel Museum” (2007), “Also Thus!” (Acco, 2007), “Rally” (Rabin Square, 2007), “Operation Free Holon”, “Change of Guard (With Dani Karavan, Tel-Aviv Museum of Art), “Public Movement House” (2008), “Spring in Warsaw” (2009), “Performing Politics for Germany” (2010), “University Exercise” (Heidelberg, 2010), “Positions” (NY, 6.11.11, Performa), “SALONS: Birthright Palestine?” (New Museum, New York, 2012), Rebranding European Muslims (Berlin Biennial 2012, Steirischer Herbst 2012), Debriefing Session (Baltic Circle, Helsinki), Honor Guard (Asian Art Biennial, Taipei 2013) and “The Reenactment of the Mount Herzl Terrorist Attack” (Upcoming).

Bread and Roses is an art sale exhibition in support of the Women and Work project, established by the Workers Advice Center (WAC). This social project focuses on lifting Arab women in Israel out of poverty by helping them find employment. Artists active with WAC – painters, photographers and filmmakers – run this project of solidarity which draws hundreds of leading artists to participate.
Only 22% of Arab women participate in the workforce, compared to 60% of Jewish women. For this reason, some 60% of Arab families live under the poverty line. This amounts to some 320,000 Arab women outside the workforce, and meanwhile the economic and social crisis among Israeli Arabs deepens.
WAC’s Women and Work project has been active since 2005 opening up jobs for Arab women in agriculture, a branch in which most jobs are located close to their homes. These women cry out for this minimum-wage work, but the farmers prefer migrant labor, which is even cheaper and more easily exploited – and in this they have the cooperation of manpower agencies and the government’s support.
Over the years, Bread and Roses has raised some 3 million shekels for the Women and Work project. Moreover, the hundreds of artists who participate in the exhibition increase its influence, which is changing public opinion and thus also the opinion of decision-makers regarding the need to solve the problem of unemployment among Arab women.
The social solidarity developing between Jewish artists and Arab workers on the basis of common economic interests brings hope to the exhibition participants, to the viewers and to the purchasers of the art being exhibited. This hope is Bread and Roses’ open secret, as it works to create a society of equality and social justice so different from the reality of Israel today.

(Partial installation of the project “Your Son will Amount to Nothing”)
The project “Your Son will Amount to Nothing” took place in Jesse Cohen neighborhood over a two-year period, in collaboration with The Israeli Center for Digital Art, and was exhibited as a solo exhibition in November 2012. Throughout the project, television cases (some of which are featured in the current installation) were scattered around the neighborhood, simultaneously transmitting and receiving. A chance encounter with Vered Levanon-Parante, a local artist who teaches children in the neighborhood, formed the basis from which emerged the dialogue between Meir Tati and different artists, each recounting the story of a journey: Levanon-Parante, the granddaughter of painter Mordechai Levanon, “wounds the canvas,” as she puts it, in order to humanize it so that it will “carry my life’s burdens;” Rosenberg’s artistic career evolved from her activity in the neighborhood and involvement with the neighborhood renewal project; while Genadhi (Gdalia) Zimmel delineates a fascinating journey, which starts in the city of Lviv in the western Ukraine, continues with the Lenin Award for outstanding services rendered to the state, and ends in Jesse Cohen.
