"What use of a house if you do not have a normal star to put it on?" - Henry David Thoreau

The Beit Hasid is holding a special opening for exhibition "Black Humor" curated by Noa Lea Cohn, The Artshelter Gallery

Participanting Artists: Ilan Atlan / Shai Azoulay/ Shahaf Ben Shaya/ Yom Tov Blumenthal/ Dan Groover/Anshie Kagan / Ezra Landau/ Yiddy Lebovits/ Judith Levi / Etzion Mizrahi/ Yitzchok Moully/ Mendy Pellin/ Esther Malka Seruya/ David Baruch Wolk/ Marcelle Tehila Bitton

The exhibition deals with the identity and appearance of the Orthodox Jew and his ability to deal with a two-way view: interior and exterior. The exhibition's artists stand on the watershed: on the one hand, they use introspective, inner humor that belongs to the public in which they belong to the thin nuances within it. On the other hand, humor enables them to direct an external critical eye on themselves - 'the self-conscious stranger.' This pioneering exhibition is a contemporary seismograph of the sociological and ideological processes taking place in ultra-Orthodox society (under its various factions) under the radar.

The historic hotel the Austrian Hospice, in the old city of Jerusalem is hosting works by artist Ethan Dor-Shav

"Who by Water, Who by Fire" curated by Vera Pilpoul

This exhibition comprises two monumental works, in soft pastel on paper. Exploring two cataclysmic biblical narratives that employ gestures of shape and color, in paintings that consist entirely of movement and energy, Ethan Dor-Shav takes us to the cosmic boundaries of the human experience. Elijah ascends to Heaven to the boundary of the metaphysical world of light, in a fiery storm surrounded by fiery horses. In a contrasting cosmic inversion, in a great storm Jonah plummets to the depths of the sea, to the brink of the shadowy Underworld. Jonah is swallowed by the ancient sea monster, and their symbiosis threatens Jonah’s very consciousness as a human. Dor-Shav’s previous solo exhibition, “Six Wings,” was shown at the Tel Aviv Artists’ House in October 2016.

Exhibiting "To and Fro: Contemporary French Artists and Rabbi Nachman of Breslov" curated by Dr. Batsheva Goldman Ida

Feature Artists: Céclie Reims, Yosef Joseph Dadoune, Sandra Zémor, Rachel Koskas, and Shmuel Ackerman

This exhibition showcases a group of French artists interpreting texts from 18th century Rabbi Nahman of Bratslav (b. 1772- d. 1810). As one of the most notable figures of the Hasidic Movement, Rabbi Nachman sought to pass his extentsive understanding of Jewish mysicism through his imaginative stories. This exhibition takes Rabbi Nahman’s intent one-step further, bringing together works of art inspired by his writings, which draw the viewer closer to the meaning of the tales and parables.
