On the Move

18 April 2012

I luckily had time to catch the Schachter “Friends and Family Exhibition” - it is an endearing show. All the children including mum had created art showing great family unity.

I visited Samuel Levack and Jennifer Lewandowski's show called ‘Danse-moi vers la fin de l’amour’. They were still installing but it looked vibrant and beautiful.

Sadie Coles was the biggest surprise for me with artists such as Annette Kelm, Eddie Peake and Shannon Ebner amongst other future greats.

I visited a couple of collections, Doran Siebag at the Givon space and Avi Angel showing me his art hidden in the depths of a downtrodden building, like finding a diamond in the dust.

My highlight was visiting one of Israel’s more established artists, Yehudit Sasportis with Marie Shek, who will be creating a big show in the Israel Museum. She presented us with her ambitious project. <br><br>I had time to visit with Daniella Gareh the Noga Gallery, where ‘Misunderstood Part 1’ was curated by Yasmine Datnow and Maia Morgensztern. The show included Rina Banerjee and Wolfe Von Lenkiewicz. Also featuring a very strange young man called Hennessy Youngman you can find in YouTube. Tiffany tells me all the kids love his work.

My favourite of all the Israeli Artists was Sharon Yaari at Irit Somer gallery. His work is masterful.
