Ido Suliman - Cracking in Berlin
Sixth exhibition in the 16th Nidbach series
Opening: Saturday, 17.07.2010.
Closing: Wednesday, 18.08.2010
Curator: Tami Berenstein
Ido Suliman's works range from dangerous and exciting to guilt evoking. Through a series of posters of fictive films, he challenges the well formulated collective memory of the Holocaust, disassembling and assembling the forbidden images scorched into our consciousness. Thus, the Stalag, Snuff and fetishist culture intertwines with the "Burekas" films, the stronghold of the Israeli other, churning the viewer's stomach. The passion towards the "dark side" of our memory is reexamined through the Pop culture. Viewing the works raises the question – will the most horrific image, repeated and copied over and over, become "Pop" as well? (Tami Berenstein)
A gallery talk with the artist and the curator will be held on Sat. 31.07.10 at 12:00
