DIE ASPORAS
Young Israeli artists in Berlin
In the upcoming Preview Berlin art fair 13-16/9 2012 (Tempelhof | hangar 2
| Berlin)

Recent years have been marked with a rising trend of young Israeli artists immigrating
to Berlin. Paradoxically, this wave of immigration is mostly understood
not as a transition into an unknown culture, but rather as a form of historical
return. Even so, here these artists are faced with their own foreignness and their
perplexed notion of identity is maintained in constant flux. Striking cultural differences
are discovered within local and national signs and symbols, alien to the
newcomer’s eye, evoking a desire to critically study them and deconstruct. The
vast visual sphere of Germany‘s art, craft, architecture, design and landscape, is
all reinterpreted and valued anew. The project‘s touring nature exhibits developing
changing content by its artists. The choice to position the works one against
the other as a dynamic site specific wall installation, offers a zoom in zoom out
examination of the overall scope of the phenomenon which they represent.
