Exhibitions
The “schnurgerüste” (foundation outline) - exhibition of artist and architect Dan Birenboim refers to the building site as a dynamic landscape, where laborers, cranes, blocks and cement create action scenes, mirroring the everyday demolition and building taking place in the public space. Although the exhibition at Zadik Gallery has closed, the idea continues to stir in one’s mind that architecture students should undergo work at a building site during their studies. Following the practice of several countries, England for instance, the idea might prevent a great deal of the architectural defaults stemming from the widening gap between computerized planning and its realization on site.
“Around Six Columns” - exhibition of graphic designer Dan Reisinger, places architecture at the conjoining point between the artistic and the applied, the static and dynamic. Involved in several projects (e.g, the medical school in Bat Galim, Haifa), Reisinger turns the space into a kinetic system of colors and shapes based on the spectator’s changing point of view while moving. Within this, the columns, functioning as structural elements on the backdrop of the walls, create an ever-changing artistic composition, through combinations of colors and shapes. Interesting, yet no need to hurry, as the exhibition will close only in January 2011. Derech Eretz 8 Ashdod.
Curator: Yonah Fisher.
“Hey Doll” - exhibition that took place as part of the International Woman’s Month festivities, dealt with the multi-faces of contemporary female identity. An image-mosaics of woman made by 100 female artists, the exhibition expressed the woman’s trials, tribulations and roles in Israeli society - daughter, mother, wife, employee, employer - some better some less, tormented and rejected, beautiful and desired, but always there. I know some guys that would thank god.
Curator: Tami Sinar.
“The State of Things - Design in the 21st Century” - the inaugurating exhibition at the Design Museum Holon - presents 100 products of various designers, examining their reference to ideas, materials and technologies.
Curator: Dr. Barbara Bloemink.
The next exhibition will open at the end of October under the title - “Senseware - Tokyo Fiber”. The exhibition deals with the role of stone, paper, ink and artificial fiber in the history of design materials. Curator: Kenya Hara, Japan.
And by the way, the next issue of AI will present an extensive article about building materials and finishing technologies - ideas and projects are most welcome.

Verging on Architecture
The architect and painter Albert Benchimol had lost all his paintings in a luggage fire while immigrating to Israel from Morocco in 1957. Following the traumatic event, he refrained from paintings for years, until returning to it recently - showing in exhibitions and even awarded prizes. http://benchimol.albert.free.fr
Books
The book “My School - Image, Environment and Atmosphere” presents a selection of schools planned by the Haifa office Amar-Koriel. Dina Amar and Avraham Koriel are two Technion graduates who run one of the leading offices in the field. As shown in a number of prominent schools, they have tried to avoid the bureaucratic masses and grant the students a learning environment rich in content. The book is meant for architects, students, educators, and others concerned about the fenced places where their kids spend most of their days.
That’s all for now
