Ori Gersht, “Black Box” Art Exhibition

Hirshorn Museum , Washington , DC
For more information: http://hirshhorn.si.edu/

For the first time, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden of the Smithsonian Institution will present a solo show of an Israeli artist.

Gersht's photographic process uniquely incorporates specific environmental conditions with an awareness of memory, experience, and embedded history. There is a defined relationship of this in how the photographic medium is engaged. With an understanding of the chemical and physical limitations of film, of which Gersht is never shy to push the boundaries of, that often turns out to be a more dimensional and resonant vehicle for portraying a mechanism of meaning through the imprint of time, light, and phenomena that perhaps expose the capacity and limitations of human memory as well.

More information

Tamar Dubrovsky is an abstract contemporary Israeli artist. She began her artistic journey with landscape paintings, lyrical and almost abstract in their way. With time her art became further abstract and the paint thickened and thickened to the point where her concrete strokes neared the realm of sculpture. In recent years Tamar Dubrovsky has presented three dimensional installations as well as video art while continuing to paint with fury.
