Rivka Bezalel - An Imaginative Paradise

Hana Kofler

 

Rivka Bezalel's exhibition An Imaginative Paradise will open at Office in Tel Aviv Gallery on Thursday,best replica watches 6 September 2012, 8 p.m., as part of the "Loving Art, Making Art 2012" events in the city.

 

Rivka Bezalel sets out to eliminate the gap between art and life through comprehensive practice which transforms her oeuvre and life into a vivid, active, and changing self-portrait. Her work combines diverse expressive means (photography, painting, sculpture, design, writing, performance, video, and body art). Instead of "making art," however, she channels all her resources and skills to loci which enable her to "be art." An Imaginative Paradise, her third exhibition, exemplifies the conceptual thread running through her projects, and the way in which she ties the links to one another to construct bridges between hearts.

            Bezalel delved into the essence of paradise, exploring what it means to her as well as to a random audience of correspondents. The latter returned stamped postcards, in which they described paradise as they perceive it. Concurrently, she initiates an artist meeting with eight participants from different fields. The documented meeting is screened in the current exhibition alongside photographic works created by the artists who perpetuate a moment of inspiration, a point of internal illumination, using disposable cameras. The exhibition also features the aforesaid postcards, which contain descriptions of the ultimate paradise according to each correspondent.

 

Guest Artists: Edna Grupel-Melamed, Naomi Heyman-Itai, Arik Livnat, Sasson Kedem, Andrey Koumanin, Gil Ron Shama, Rina Schenfeld.

 

The show is accompanied by Rivka Bezalel's book of reflections, An Imaginative Paradise.
