Closing: Saturday, 7 July 2012

Liat Livni and Amir Tomashov, individually and in the discourse between them, suggest a unique understanding of what is metaphorically call “exposed space”. “Exposed space” refers to the artists’ view points and perceptions towards urban spaces, development processes, using the material’s primal characteristics and the meanings attributed to them. Tomashov refers to issues in art through the field of architecture, whereas Livni refers to these issues from the viewpoint of plastic arts. Together they arouse our thoughts on the connections between art, architecture, theory and aesthetics.
