As every year, just prior to Passover, the LaCulture Initiative will hold its grand and annual art exhibition, which will last for an entire weekend, presenting and selling artworks, pottery and tattoos on the topic of desert, from 120 young and promising artists.

The LaCulture Initiative agenda is to promote the accessible art to the public and expose the public to local artists. Therefore LaCulture usually creates collaborations with Israeli designers and artists in order to produce collections especially for the exhibition in the theme chosen.

In this exhibition, in addition to the 120 artists and artists, LeCulture will host 10 excellent local tattoo artists, ceramics artists Shai Jerassi and Adi Tal [Material Girlz], the potter Denya Mor-Goren and the three video artists: Tom Gan-Or, Yehonatan Cohen Levitas and Tom Kariv.

Tattoos: The exhibition will sell tattoo designs from 10 excellent local tattoo artists at a price of 500 NIS for tattooing. The tattoos will be purchased as a work of art for every thing and will be tattooed in coordination with the artists in their studio.

Shai Jerassi and Adi Tal [Material Girls] will present a multi-layered ceramic project on the first floor of the exhibition. In the project they created ceramic tools that correspond with geological processes from the desert landscape, after they collected local clay from the Israeli desert, which they combined with ceramic industrial materials.
The project includes three different elements that present another angle of the Israeli desert landscape.
Danya Mor Goren, will display a number of hand-illustrated cups and vases with slipware [black pigment], from recycled and dotted material.

Video Art
Tom Gan-Or – I do what I have to do, even though I do not know why I have to do it. Short-circuiting, infinite.
Tom Kariv – Postman, A short animated film that seeks to trace the thin line that separates individual Western life from loneliness, literally. The message is conveyed through the image of a postman, a profession that until recently its owners constituted an important communal figure, and today some will say, threatening to disappear from the world. In the film you can see the postman decide to take courageous action out of the yearning for human interaction.
Jonathan Cohen Levitas – Before The Law Performance, the gatekeeper is me. The story of a guard, an attempt at exposure and liberation, a call for struggle, loneliness, space and intimacy. My cry will never be heard.

LaCulture will present a contemporary art exhibition at prices of up to 500 NIS and exposes young artists and young artists in one exhibition in order to make local art accessible to its community and to all Israeli art consumers.
The exhibition will take place at 9 Mazeh Gallery, LaCulture’s home gallery. The exhibition will feature original artworks by about 120 promising young artists and designers.

The theme chosen for the exhibition is Desert, a theme that corresponds to the local landscape and the Passover holiday.
In the exhibition we will present works in a variety of techniques that interpret the theme “Desert” in a literal, graphic, sensory, conceptual and abstract way.
The works will come in the form of illustrations, photographs, woodcuts, aquatint prints, silk prints, risograph prints and, of course, paintings and more.
The works will be in limited copies.
