About

In House is a new initiative by the Embassy of Israel. It is a pop up gallery that presents video art, projected on the windows of the greenhouse near the embassy. The art will be shown for a week and can be seen from the public space freely.

There couldn׳t be a better time to launch such a project rather than on the longest nights of the year and also during the light holidays of Hanukkah and Christmas. 

This year we launch the first episode of this platform that will hopefully evolve and allow more creative collaborations with both Swedish and Israeli partners in the future.

​

The exhibition will run everyday until December 27th.

​

Special Thanks: SFV, Jonas Grandér and Ivan Wahren.

# 1 Inside - Out

# 1 Inside-Out

Our first exhibition Inside-Out  presents video art by four Israeli women artists who deal with our most private space - the home. They examine different points of view alternating between the private and the public, the mundane and the spectacular. Although all the works are existing works that have been presented before in galleries and art centers in Israel, they have been adapted for the specific location and format of the greenhouse windows. 

A window is the element that connects/separates the public from the private. Yet in all presented art works the windows become a portal to another place and time, where the border between the indoors and the outdoors is no longer clear and the viewer is peeking into somebody else's rituals and human behavior.

Window

​

Window is a work taking place in the backyard of the ‘white city’ neighborhoods of Tel Aviv. This common space is typical to residential buildings, the left over back yards where all window meet. This area, very private yet public is the place where the most private interiors of our home are exposed outward, placing unknown neighbors in very close proximity. Through this work the artists examine the notion of home in cities. What turns a building into a home?

 

‘Window’ was first initiated at the exhibition Home.Building in Liebling Haus Tel Aviv as part of an artist in residence program between Liebling Haus and the Environment and Sustainability Authority. Curators of home.building: Anat Levi & Shira Levy Benyemini

Frida is the artist's grandmother and the main character in a video created during Covid lockdown. Through a gentle choreography the typical Israeli shutters slowly let the light and the outside world in.  

Black Eyed Peas shows the artist with her grandmother seated in front of the same window, peeling a huge pile of beans that separates and connects them at the same time.

Sharon works with everyday simple objects and turns them into magical moments of wonder. A baby soap in a toxic turquoise color slowly finds it way into a woman׳s hands. Colored shampoo is spilled out slowly from its container making perfect round shapes of red puddles.
