A Look at the Collection — Encounters in the Photography Study Room / David Adika (in Hebrew)
The Tel Aviv Museum of Art marks a decade of the Lauren and Mitchell Presser Photography Award for a Young Israeli Artist.
To celebrate the occasion, the museum invites the public to a unique series of encounters with the photography collection. In each meeting, participants will be invited into the heart of the collection, to spend time among the works held in it, and to meet one leading photographer.
Works from the collection will be presented for a double discussion: on the one hand, the conversation will consider selected works from the history of photography; on the other, it will focus on the invited artist’s own body of work, and on shared sources of inspiration—between their photographs and the photograph presented.
This is a rare opportunity to view works from the collection alongside a discussion of working processes, shared histories, and photographic language.
