Roundabout: Face to face
Museum of Modern Art, Tel Aviv
Works mainly of artists from the Far East, Australia and New Zealand expressing different 'voices'
The exhibition presents works mainly of artists from the Far East, Australia and New Zealand -among them Tony Albert, Shane Cotton, Gonkar Gyatso and Tavares Strachan- reflecting a global community often separated by national borders and estranged by cultural conflicts and religious ideologies, yet united by the common goal of creative expression and mutual artistic exchange. An emphasis is placed on portraits expressing different "voices" regarding religion, ethnicity and gender, thus setting the viewer off on a dialogue, a journey discovering the other within the self. Curated by Varda Steinlauf. (Image: Isaac Julien, Long ago: homage to the tuhoe - True south sereies, 2008)
