Third Floor on the Left - 31 Hama'aracha, Tel Aviv,
Third Floor on the Left is pleased to present SLASH-HOOD SOUND SYSTEM duo exhibition by Nimrod Alexander Gershoni & Ira Shalit. SLASH-HOOD SOUND SYSTEM is a new sound-performance work combining recorded and improvised sound tracks as well as live music. While treating the exhibition space as a recording studio, Gershoni and Shalit have been melting thoughts regarding death, mundane routine and random encounters with Invasive species of birds into a new conscious sub-genre.

SLASH-HOOD SOUND SYSTEM by Nimrod Alexander Gershoni & Ira Shalit is the show of the fourth chapter in LIFE CHAPTERS – the second season of Third Floor on the Left. This season consists of five ‘chapters’ in which the participating artists will share their life with Meital Aviram for a month, prior to the show. During the residency, the artists and the curator will be contriving an exhibition in the same apartment they are accommodating. In the end of the stay, the show will be open for a week.
LIFE CHAPTERS is kind of a group exhibition that has been separated and splited for different time units, that weave together one linear route, an accumulation of significance. Each show will echo the memory of the previous one. In the heart of the project; The hybridisation between the artist’s studio and the living space of the curator. These – the artist, the space and the curator, are being bent together in the of the upcoming show, which will be infused in a mutual constant exposer. Each stay or ‘Chapter’ will be completing together the whole biography of the season.
LIFE CHAPTERS includes three individuals and two couples of artists in the following order: Itamar Stamler, May Zisman & Ofer Romano, Yasmin Caspin, Nimrod Alexander Gershoni & Ira Shalit, Or Ariely
Third Floor on the Left is a residential based seasonal project. In its first season the project has been constructed from seven separated exhibitions and site specific events. LIFE CHAPTERS , on the contrary, is a linear group show which divides into five parts, that are being unifying in conjunction to the shared living, and undermining the division between the artist and the curator, as well as their residential space. The aim of those intentions is to demand ‘genuine’ relationship.
Third Floor on the Left is curated and hosted by Meital Aviram
