Installations

Between Things (2010), Mixed Media Installation.
‘Etudes for Tea-Time' group exhibition (Curator, Liora Belford); August 4th till August 28th, 2010 – P8 Gallery, 8 Poriya St. Tel-Aviv.
The installation, ‘Between Things' is based upon a few texts about time; the texts are hanged in the air, at the gallery's space, while various leftovers of paper, ink, accompanying materials and sound are piled up around them. These leftovers are a testimony of an act which took place, in the middle, between things. The act occurs in a relation to time; it can be carried out in light of the expected final result and therefore desperately cling to the speed of change and its purpose; or alternatively, through an involuntary and temporary conspicuousness as a deviation from somewhat predicted and routine path; as a pure act of abstraction in the world; or other abundance relations. Time is being expressed in this installation as a plastic thought, image and sound; as numerous descriptions, out of many, which are parallel to the characteristics of the act itself and which complement each other in different modes, that sometime, their nature stays unclear to us.
About the exhibition: ‘Etudes for Tea-Time' is a dynamic and ongoing sound exhibition that exhibits thoughts about time. The exhibition will waive the need for a static art situation and will transform the gallery's space into an experimental lab. Three sound artists will dwell in the gallery consequently in order to create a sound installation about the concept of time. Reflecting on individual past work done at the gallery, the artists will examine the intermediate situations, will be spacing the artistic process and will shade some light on the creative process itself.

Dates

May 26th 2010 - 'Attentiveness Foldings' - Performed sound installation at Dissolving Localities, Curated by Emmanuel Witzthum (The Lab)

June 23rd 2010 - 'If the walls could speak' - Installation, Sound Archeology at The Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem (P.O Box Bezalel Yafo 23), Curated by Dr. Roy Brand, director; Sagit Mezamer, Yael Ruhman and Simon Krantz.
The structure, literally, is a material exists as limited information, defined in a closed and finite reality. Sound is contained in the structure as part of the happening within the structure and around it, but even when the happening had past, the sound remains intact, floating, burned into dense layers as simultaneously existing derivatives, as a known testimony to the thing itself and as an unknown testimony to the thing which was lost. The installation, ‘if the walls could speak', carves the layers of sound, unfold time and decipher the local history which existed and still exists.
[Abstract; It seems, in the modern age, that the visual imagery burden has changed the human reading of space more than anything else. One of the consequences of this is a structural ability of thematic blindness which was bequeathed to the human eye, one which produces fictitious silence within the noise. The process is dynamic; it was constructed while adapting and re-erasing the boundaries constantly and, in its catharsis finale, led to a ‘Foie Gras' flood which caused the collapse of the imagery and its shattering in space. The negativity which will break through because of this will clear off the space, forcibly, to sound. The sound is free now and can speak out. The installation, ‘If the walls could speak', will try to examine this negativity which now becomes full.]

A thing occurs at the field, an event in addition. Whether the event and the thing are different, similar or identical to each other, or not, it is necessary for one field to exist in relation to its neighbor. That is the form, the field's arrangement character – the tangible within it, in attentiveness folds into the other, crossing a borderline. The borderline conditions the relation between the fields. It is being conceived, simultaneously, as both abstract and concrete.
The paper; four borderlines, three dimensions, two fields and a single poem which reads out loud:

‘Keshev' (Attentiveness) / T.Carmi
It is difficult for two shells to truly converse.
Each one lends an ear to its own sea.
Only the pearl diver or the antiques trader
can determine without a fear: same sea
