Opening on Saturday, April 12, at 8pm

the exhibition of animated works, “Twisted Reality.”

Exhibition runs until June 28, 2008.

Still frame from Run Wrake's “Rabbit”, 2005.

The exhibition, Twisted Reality, asks in what manner art can respond meaningfully to a "twisted" reality of abuse, murder, and alienation, and whether art features as part of the social fabric or as isolated from it. "Twisted Reality" contains animated works and interdisciplinary works which integrate techniques from animation, by local and international artists. The dialogue between the medium of animation and other means of expression establishes more room for creativity, enabling a new awareness of space, movement, imagery, and expression.

The exhibition is curated by Irena Gordon and Yoav Raban. Participating artists include Philippe Grammaticopoulos, Run Wrake, Dana Darvish, Heimo Wallner, Aya Ben-Ron, Uri Radovan, Shadi Habib Allah, Michal Pfeffer, Uri Kranot, Phil Mulloy, Yoav Raban, Avi Ofer, Uriel Miron, Cao Fei, Laurent Mareschal, Avraham Eilat.

The Israeli Center for Digital Art is a dynamic platform for thinking, researching, producing, and presenting contemporary art, as well as providing a meeting point for exchange between contemporary artists, curators, critics and the public. The center is a non-profit organization established in 2001 which devotes a significant part of its work on art projects that foster questions about identity, ethnicity, nationalism and cultural exchange. It initiates partnerships and collaborations with individuals and other institutions in the Middle East and the Balkan region in an effort to explore how creative communities from different peripheries of the world can connect, learn from each other, and break down nationalistic or regional barriers. The activities of the center are concentrated in five main areas: The video archive & mobile archive, public presentations, residency program, education program and publications.

The Video Archive has been relocated to a bigger, brighter space, and all are welcome to contact us for research purposes, or to arrange a visit.

The center's Mobile Archive project was launched at the Kunstverein, Hamburg in 2007. Since then, the Mobile Archive has traveled to other art institutes that open the 1,200 video art collection to the public, and also contribute regional works to the original collection.
