New exhibitions at the 'Space Art Incubator' - an art project of the Haifa Museums in collaboration with Zumo, the museum on the way.
On Tuesday, 1/10/24, two new exhibitions will open in the space art incubator building of the Haifa Museums. The exhibitions will be opened subject to the security situation and the directives of the Home Front Command.
"All my present is in what is to come"
The first exhibition is a group exhibition, which bears the name "My whole present is in what is going to happen". The name was borrowed from a song by the poet Efrat Mishori. This is a group exhibition of 3 female artists - Iris Barnea, Mai Deas and Dalit Proter, who present paintings and photography and video works.
The exhibition was curated by Oz Zalof, the curator of the Place Art Conservatory. According to him: "The exhibition presents art in various mediums and deals with the mental stress of life in Israel, and the reactions of struggle, humor, neurosis, anger and desire. The works reflect a constant dynamic of clinging to life, and of opposing states: movement and laxity, drive and erosion, despair and hope."
Video collection from the project "73-23 Video Salon between two wars"
At the same time as this exhibition, another exhibition - a video collection from the project "Video Salon Between Two Wars" from the creator of Zumo, the museum on the way - will be shown in the space of the art incubator. This is a national project, dealing with the work between the two wars: the Yom Kippur War in 73 and the October 23th War in 1973, which was curated by Milena Gitzin Adiram, Dr. Mein Shelf and Shahar Ben-Nun.
On the seam between the sixth of October 1973 and the seventh of October 2023, a large-scale project was created that presents an anthology of about 50 Israeli video works created between, during and in light of the two wars. These 50 works will be shown on a videotape that will be placed in the entrance plaza to the greenhouse building.

The selected works For the exhibition at the Haifa Museums Place Art Incubator, we are dealing with female power and the role of the mother in the culture of war and battles.
