Unique encounters following the exhibition Material Imagination / Hung & Hidden: From Dark Storerooms to the Light of the Gallery (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.

Hung & Hidden: From Dark Storerooms to the Light of the Gallery / Mira Lapidot, Chief Curator
The collection storerooms are full of diverse and intriguing works of art, only a few of which ever find their way to the gallery walls. The tour will shed light on the tension between the works in safekeeping and those on display in the various exhibitions.
