Tel Aviv’s cultural map welcomes three exciting venues in 2012: a new addition to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the renovated Habima Theater and the upgraded Cinematheque. To celebrate the artistic flourishing of the city, 2012 has been declared as “Tel Aviv Art Year”.

A multidisciplinary, one-of-a-kind encounter between musical performances, digital art, screenings of video art and animation, displays, and interactive installations, showcased at 15 different hubs of activity at the city’s art complex – Shaul Hamelech Boulevard, the Performing Arts Center Concourse, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art Concourse, and Dubnov Garden.

A powerful projector illuminates the wall of the new building of the Tel Aviv Museum, casting the shadows of passersby on it. But the shadows subsequently take on a life of their own and appear without their owners. The separation between a person and his shadow is likely to be entertaining, but also disturbing. The projection simply underscores that the audience itself is the art object.

* Boris Oicherman is an interdisciplinary artist with a background in

scientific and technological research.

 

Soloists from the Meitar Opera Studio, the young artists program instituted by the Israeli Opera, perform arias from popular operas such as Carmen, The Barber of Seville, and others. The Meitar Opera Studio vocalists regularly appear around the country at many concerts produced by the Israeli Opera, in addition to children’s opera hours, educational activities held by the Israeli Opera, and other Israeli Opera productions.

* David Sebba serves as the director of the Meitar Opera Studio.

 

 

 

Dreamfields Urban Innovators, which is engaged in researching and developing new methodologies for creative urban regeneration, was founded by Nisan Almog and Alon Schwabe.

 

Assor defines the work as a “hybrid between a live broadcast of reconstructive plastic surgery and documentation of the demolition of houses, or between a Mediterranean cooking show and a special effects stage.”

* Nadav Assor is a video, photography and performance artist who lives and works in the U.S. and Israel. Daniel Davidovsky is a sound artist and a member of the EFT Trio which recently released their first album.

Pixel Materiali is an interactive installation which enables the
audience to use physical tiles in creating simple pixel-like animations. Reflecting the prevalent culture of sharing and collective creation in
the Internet age, the visitors go from being ‘consumers’ to ‘producers’ and experience a unique encounter between the physical and the digital.
The project encourages cooperation between the various participants, each of whom can continue the work made by others.

* Michal Rinott is an interaction designer and artist, founder and director of the Interaction Lab at the Holon Institute of Technology. Tal Drori is an illustrator, interaction designer and graphic designer.

A unique show which combines live orchestra music with animated films, created by young Israeli animators and composers. The animated films screened during the show were created using different technologies and address issues such as love, friendship and violence. The soundtracks, composed especially for the animated videos in a collaborative process between the composers and the animators, range between classical music and jazz, rock and contemporary music.

* The Revolution Orchestra is a creative ensemble and lab for original Israeli music that incorporates performing

Radio Trip with a special set of Yafo’s independent record companies, Koliphone and Zakiphone. The set will be mixed live by DJ Hectik. A video art work by Natan Brand will accompany the duet. It presents rare archive photographs of migrant workers who recorded authentic music in studios in Yafo, mixed with images from original record covers.
