Please join artist Ishai Shapira Kalter for an informal tour of “Blade Memory,” which he curated with fellow artists Naama Arad and Eran Nave and that is currently on view at CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo. The tour will focus on the differences between the practice of curating and exhibition making as an artistic medium, touching upon the collaborative nature of this specific project. Shapira Kalter will also speak about the notion of partach [פארטאטש] – a Yiddish word used to define something done improperly in an improvised way – in relationship to the architecture and cityscape of Tel Aviv. He will then discuss the intimacy that guided the creation of “unmonumental” and ephemeral works of art presented in the exhibition.

The event will be held in Hebrew.
