Feldman is an independent curator and writer based in Tel Aviv, Berlin, and Dresden. Informed by the international history of video art, the program traces the development of the medium in Israel and explores how artists have employed technology and material to examine the sociopolitical status quo.Īvi Feldman, co-curator of Part 4: State of Amnesia-2005-2012, will introduce both nights of the exhibition and offer a Q&A following the screenings. The second night features Part 3: 1997–2005-The Rise of the Medium, 6 works curated by Sergio Edelsztein, and Part 4: 2005–12-State of Amnesia: Recent Video from Israel, 8 works curated by Yael Bartana and Avi Feldman. The first night is curated by Ilana Tenenbaum, and features 14 works under the heading Part 1: 1970–80-Early Experiments in Time-Based Art and 7 videos under the heading Part 2: 1980–97-An Art Form Coming Into Its Own. Divided into four historic and thematic sections, Staring Back at the Sun focuses on the activist impulse in video art-making in Israel over the last four decades. Staring Back at the Sun, organized by Chen Tamir, Curatorial Associate at Artis and Curator at the Center for Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv, showcases 35 works by 38 artists, including early performances, films and videos never before presented outside of Israel.
