Time In - Time Out
Group exhibition after the war Summer 2006

14 July - 6 October

The Summer of 2006 was a hard experience for the residents of the Northen Part of Israel. From the shelters, the protected in house spaces and the silence of the stopped  daily routine, silence broke only by the bombing on both sides of the border. We try again and again to indentify the nearby falling or exit of the endless bombing,  the  announcement message of the short time recess for geting organized, shoping, meeting friends and neighbours, exchanging impressions and fears. From the uncertainty of those days, artists found a way to express their feelings and anxiety through works of art, creations that raised out of the personal war experience, or shortly after. Now, in the perspective of the year passing, we bring this exhibition presenting the works , reminding us of those dreadful days.

For the Past year Tal Gallery concentrates on the subject of Israeli history and identity. Starting with "Israeli Summer" group exhibition which was disrupted by the war, "Ascent" Varda Yatom ceramic art exhibition, A Poster exhibition for Israel Independence day, by students of Shenkar college of design, and a significant exhibition of the well known artist Shemuel Katz, his personal experience as a holocaust survivor and illegal immigrant. The Present exhibition
Time In - Time Out brings works of 32 artists dealing with the war of Summer 2006. The exhibition shows the different ways and variety in the artistic media chosen by the artists. Through the works of art , the viewer can sense the questions, the sorrow, the concerns and distress and experience some of the feelings that were part of our life
