Art and PlayingIn this exhibition we invite you to observe, play, get excited, imagine, create, remember and think about the essence of playing as a basic, exalting human experience.Our civilization is based on playing. Our very humanity has been shaped by interactions that take place when we play:

From modernism and the metaphysical ideal, through postmodern dystopia, contemporary art seems to be returning to a utopian vision of the future. The new cluster of exhibitions explores the construction of the utopian space as a fortress of hope for socio-political change and its promotion in contemporary art. Its aim is to examine the phenomenon of post-postmodernism, gaining strength in recent years and expressing the present generation's attempt to overcome the postmodernism of the late twentieth century, as a generalized reaction to the present, crisis-ridden moment.

This exhibition is concerned with oscillation between worlds, between various opposing poles – earth and sky, the physical and the spiritual, the real and the imaginary – as an expression of the meta-modern approach. The exhibition explores the ways in which the viewer experiences the work in conditions of movement, instability, doubt, perpetual change and drift.

This exhibit deals with mythological themes, which appear in the artworks of many contemporary, Israeli artists. The exhibit explores the yearning of Israeli art towards creating a dialogue with the classic, Greek mythological figures and their place in Western Art. The preoccupation is examined through the presentation of artworks from the seventies, alongside artworks from the current era.
