Part exhibition and part educational project, “What the Matter Wants?” is the culmination of a course that consisted of series of encounters, artists’ talks and studio visits held during the school year of 2017–2018 with students from Hamidrasha’s Postgraduate Fine Art Program. The encounters centered on exhibition projects from recent years that sought to revisit seminal conceptual and post-minimalist exhibitions from the 1960s, as well as on several key players in the field of Israeli art from around those years and “The Want of Matter: A Quality in Israeli Art,” the iconic exhibition curated by Sarah Breitberg-Semel at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in 1986.
“What the Matter Wants?” is a collaboration between the Givon Art Forum, a non-profit space located in the Neve Tzedek neighborhood, Tel Aviv, and the Postgraduate Fine Art Program at Hamidrasha, the Faculty of the Arts at the Beit Berl College.
About Our Venue: Givon Art Fourm
The Givon Art Forum is a new initiative which seeks to address a perceived gap between the activities of today’s private gallery and the museum. Events and exhibitions will explore a range of propositions and views — be they those of the artist or the curator —signaling new directions and forging new understandings.
The activities of the Forum will be broad enough to accommodate one-off events in a variety of media including: sculpture, video, installation, architecture, painting, drawing, new media. The common denominator linking all these activities will be an emphasis on ideas that in turn have the capacity to generate experience. The Forum will not only encourage but critically examine the role of the collector in today’s art world. The Forum insists on the primacy of the work of art independently of market or other considerations.
