Ari Fischer
1st exhibition in the 18th Nidbach series
Curator: Eran Ehrlich
Opening: Thursday, 25 October 2012
Closing: Saturday, 8 December 2012
Arbeit Nr. 11, by Ari Fischer is a continuation of his final project in the Department of Glass and Ceramics at the Bezalel Academy.
A skeletal building frame is the central installation in the exhibition, along side models of iconic western buildings. Together they create a visual statement of the logical efficiency that is embodied in the spatial traditions of Western society. They depict the important value of functionality that was bestowed upon them at the time of their planning. The question of function, which forms the architectural agenda, is a physical, spatial and visual expression of a perception that sanctifies “work” as a principle value.
