TRACE THE EXISTENCE EXAMINE BOUNDARY — AN ARTISTIC STATE OF BUOYANCY
What happens when Jewish and Chinese rituals meet in the mind of a multidisciplinary artist? Yael Bronner Rubin, has lived in Hong Kong for a number of years since graduating with a MFA, creating entire series influenced by the two cultures she has absorbed in her life. Yael creates "SHAM^SHAM" which in Chinese means "the rising sun" - East - a continuous multimedia installation. This is not an exhibition but an artistic move consisting of a number of events, ceremonies, sound interventions by the sound genius Nir Jacob Younessi, along with performance by the dancer Esti Pontinsky, make-up ceremonies with The Lab's artists, and the opening of several peepholes for the general public. Yael's artistic research traces the existence of the experiment in art, examining boundaries in the face of an evolving occurrence, while examining words such as belonging, continuity and longing. "Sham^Sham" is not a place, but an artistic state of buoyancy between the spiritual and the material, which places the audience perhaps a little confused but that is the price when examining boundaries. The works on display will change every day and will be selected from the archive created by an artist in space, a kind of "holy ark" of the show. The first days of the setup were inspired by the 3 days of Genesis, from the Bible. In the first day Yael created the light in the space, in the second day she brought all the objects to build her art archive from which we curate everyday a new exhibit. ON the third day she installed all the plants as a part of the performances design.
