Unique encounters following the exhibition Material Imagination / The Spirit of the Material (in Hebrew)

Unique encounters with the museum's curators will offer different readings of the collection display.

Tel Aviv Museum of Art is pleased to present the new permanent exhibition of its Israeli art collection – Material Imagination. Departing from the usual chronological presentation of Israeli art as part of the national narrative, the exhibition is organized around the four elements: earth, water, air, and fire. It invites visitors to cast a more attentive look at the art created here from the early 1900s to the present day, by highlighting various periods, illuminating forgotten or repressed areas, and offering a renewed reading of the story of Israeli art.

The Spirit of the Material / Dalit Matatyahu, Senior Curator of Israeli Art
The new Israeli Collection exhibition is driven by a desire to restore the creation of art and the experience of its viewing to the physical and intuitive realms. The exhibition’s curator will talk about the conceptual thinking behind its organization.
