opening of "Butterflies in the Stomach"

Sun, 20 Nov 2011 00:08:42 +0200

Today it was an opening of the group exhibition «Butterflies in the Stomach» in Holon. Thanks for everybody who came! For those who could not make it, I really recommend you to have a look there, and not only because of my works :) I should admit that I enjoyed the opening much more than expected. First, many people have come, and among them my friends

Even children enjoy the exhibition

Second, as my friend Marina said, «It wasn’t boring» — the variety of works was interesting, very different with materials and formats, but yet connected by a concept: they all more or less deal with readymade or recycling. Some of the works that catched my eye:

and there have been many more, I just forgot to take a photo!

I even liked how my own works look on the wall (sometimes when there is not enough light, my works look sad and gloomy)

Then I get a phone call, that my family is on the way to the opening, including my mom (for the first time ever)! What a nice surprize. And what a pity the gallery is already closing :) They come at the last moment, and not really bothered that everybody else has gone.

Later, Michelle and me were reading the curator’s word (Yehudit Mazkel). about the exhibition and artists. It was interesting.

p.s. And the design of the exhibition booklet is very beautiful — who made it?

My daughter Michelle is a perfect company for drawing in a cafe. First of all, she is a very patient model.

Second, she entertains me with tales about princesses and crocodiles.

The next day we came to the same place all the family, and my spouse discovered now he has already three of us drawing in our sketchbooks.

The White Page. What to draw?

When we finally left our favorite cafe, we had one of these nice Tel Aviv days.

See the old porcelain statuette in the middle? I got from my grandma. And she got it from her pupils while being a teacher of Russian literature and language in Minsk. It used to stand in the the buffet, behind the glass, and as a child I was forbidden to play with it. Of course I took it out of the buffet when nobody was around. But, well, it wasn’t so interesting to play with it anyway. Later, I read Gogol’s «Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka» and recognized that scene. Cool book, btw — ukranian fantastic realism :)

Two puppet heads next to it I bought in a puppet-workshop in Burma. It was to heavy to carry around the whole dolls in backpack. The funny bird with long legs and a gramophone next to it I bought on a flea market in Jaffa. And a little bear in the left corner — it’s a Russian Winnie-the-Pooh, yes, Russian Winnie-the-Pooh is black! But this one has also unusual long gray fur. My dad was carrying it around as a talisman. Then gave it to me, when we met after 17 years.
