Eran Shakine at Zemack Contemporary Art Gallery, Tel Aviv, Israel
In his current exhibition a paradigmatic process occurs, marking the contemporary Israeli
zeitgeist. The series is comprised of two elements which at first glance seem distant from
each other: the grand, abstract works and the housemaids' portraits.
Shakine make large scale paintings on open rooftops which functioned as his studios. On these rooftops the wind blew, the rain dropped and at times Shakine found himself shoveling the snow in order to find the hidden painting. Shakine chose to leave the imprints of natural forces on the
canvas, in order to substantiate the materials that choose to enter the canvas, to wallow
in it, and invade it. Historical layers blend with climatic layers, various feelings mix into one
pictorial solidity. The captions of the paintings expose the natural processes which were
involved in their creation: 185 days of sun 87 days of clouds 48 days of rain or 326 days
of sun 84 days of clouds 34 days of rain
in the housemaids' portraits The face is drawn in a fine, delicate line, the profile is soft and
warm, the posture, the way the hair falls on the back and the ironing hand, all endow the
housemaid with a certain reality, a reality which is sometimes overlooked in everyday life.
It seems that Shakine's refined portraits are created in reference to Modigliani's portraits of
women, their elegance, melancholy and sorrow emanating from every corner. Shakine's
housemaids are rarely presented in full body. Their limbs are boldly severed while the
composition accentuates the functionality of their position in the domestic space.
The figures are sitting on air, with no hold in the pictorial world, like in the material world,
coming and going, as if on an assembly line. Shakine paints them delicately, in a soft blur,
while using a reduced palette. Thus he builds the figures as Icons rather than portraying
a specific portrait.

Raw: Artist's Netanyahu Statue Removed
(6 Dec 2016) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: 4069804
A golden statue of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was promptly removed by workers of the Tel Aviv municipality after the artwork mysteriously appeared in front of City Hall early on Tuesday.
The artist behind the protest said he placed the 4.5-meter (15-foot) statue on Rabin Square, formerly known as Square of the Kings, to provoke Israelis into thinking about the position of Netanyahu in the country.
Itay Zalait said his goal was to test freedom of expression with a reference to the biblical golden calf - and a dig at some Israelis' idolatry of the prime minister.
Netanyahu is often perceived as keeping a firm grip on authority.
City Hall says it was placed without a permit and ordered it to be removed.
According to Jewish tradition, the depiction of people as statues is forbidden to prevent glorification of humans to the level of God.

History Repeating: A Conversation with Artist Ori Gersht and Curator Al Miner
Co-presented by Artist & the Jewish Museum
Part of the event series Dialogue and Discourse
Thursday, September 6, 2012 -- 6:30pm
The Jewish Museum
1109 Fifth Avenue at 92nd Street
New York, NY 10128
On the occasion of his first major survey exhibition, Ori Gersht: History Repeating at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (August 28 - January 6), Gersht and exhibition curator Al Miner will discuss Gersht's evolving body of work and the diverse threads of history woven throughout his oeuvre. With a special introduction by Norman Kleeblatt, Chief Curator of the Jewish Museum.
In evocative and innovative films and photographs, Ori Gersht weds the past and the present. With the latest technology he takes a discerning look at multiple histories and the ways they are communicated: histories that have shaped his own identity and helped define the state of contemporary society. Gersht's images, with sources ranging from 19th century still life painting to the Holocaust, reveal the links between history and memory, creation and destruction, and beauty and violence while exploring the passage of time.

Israel First TV Programme 90 - The Return To The Old City Through The Eyes of A 9 Years Old Boy.
Israel First TV Programme 90 - Nathalie Blackham talks to Udi Merioz - Artist, Writer & Owner of The Blue And White Art Gallery, Jerusalem about his recollections of the Jewish peoples return to the Old City of Jerusalem. Udi was the first Jewish boy to again live in the Old City of Jerusalem. Udi is an artist and a writer is now celebrating the opening of a public exhibition of his artwork at The Blue and White Art Gallery in Jerusalem. Udi was the curator of the Israeli Prime Minister’s Art Collection and is the owner of The Blue and White Art Gallery in Jerusalem. He is a graduate of the Edinburgh College of Art and a specialist in the field of developing new methods of art as a communicative language. Udi has taught and lectured art in several academic institutes in Israel. In 1967 he created the artwork for the 200-Year Celebration of the Independence of the United States which is now hanging permanently in the White House. In 1979 Udi was commissioned by the Israeli Air-force to create an artwork to commemorate the Peace Treaty between Israel and Egypt. Later the same year Udi was commissioned by one of Israel’s most famous pilots, the late Asher Shamir, to create a special oil painting and lithograph. Between 1983 and 1985 Udi created a program for communicating through art which was to assist the absorption of the Ethiopian Jews in the Southern Region of Israel.

Our Miss Brooks: Mash Notes to Harriet / New Girl in Town / Dinner Party / English Dept. / Problem
Our Miss Brooks is an American situation comedy starring Eve Arden as a sardonic high school English teacher. It began as a radio show broadcast from 1948 to 1957. When the show was adapted to television (1952--56), it became one of the medium's earliest hits. In 1956, the sitcom was adapted for big screen in the film of the same name.
Connie (Constance) Brooks (Eve Arden), an English teacher at fictional Madison High School.
Osgood Conklin (Gale Gordon), blustery, gruff, crooked and unsympathetic Madison High principal, a near-constant pain to his faculty and students. (Conklin was played by Joseph Forte in the show's first episode; Gordon succeeded him for the rest of the series' run.) Occasionally Conklin would rig competitions at the school--such as that for prom queen--so that his daughter Harriet would win.
Walter Denton (Richard Crenna, billed at the time as Dick Crenna), a Madison High student, well-intentioned and clumsy, with a nasally high, cracking voice, often driving Miss Brooks (his self-professed favorite teacher) to school in a broken-down jalopy. Miss Brooks' references to her own usually-in-the-shop car became one of the show's running gags.
Philip Boynton (Jeff Chandler on radio, billed sometimes under his birth name Ira Grossel); Robert Rockwell on both radio and television), Madison High biology teacher, the shy and often clueless object of Miss Brooks' affections.
Margaret Davis (Jane Morgan), Miss Brooks' absentminded landlady, whose two trademarks are a cat named Minerva, and a penchant for whipping up exotic and often inedible breakfasts.
Harriet Conklin (Gloria McMillan), Madison High student and daughter of principal Conklin. A sometime love interest for Walter Denton, Harriet was honest and guileless with none of her father's malevolence and dishonesty.
Stretch (Fabian) Snodgrass (Leonard Smith), dull-witted Madison High athletic star and Walter's best friend.
Daisy Enright (Mary Jane Croft), Madison High English teacher, and a scheming professional and romantic rival to Miss Brooks.
Jacques Monet (Gerald Mohr), a French teacher.
Our Miss Brooks was a hit on radio from the outset; within eight months of its launch as a regular series, the show landed several honors, including four for Eve Arden, who won polls in four individual publications of the time. Arden had actually been the third choice to play the title role. Harry Ackerman, West Coast director of programming, wanted Shirley Booth for the part, but as he told historian Gerald Nachman many years later, he realized Booth was too focused on the underpaid downside of public school teaching at the time to have fun with the role.
Lucille Ball was believed to have been the next choice, but she was already committed to My Favorite Husband and didn't audition. Chairman Bill Paley, who was friendly with Arden, persuaded her to audition for the part. With a slightly rewritten audition script--Osgood Conklin, for example, was originally written as a school board president but was now written as the incoming new Madison principal--Arden agreed to give the newly-revamped show a try.
Produced by Larry Berns and written by director Al Lewis, Our Miss Brooks premiered on July 19, 1948. According to radio critic John Crosby, her lines were very feline in dialogue scenes with principal Conklin and would-be boyfriend Boynton, with sharp, witty comebacks. The interplay between the cast--blustery Conklin, nebbishy Denton, accommodating Harriet, absentminded Mrs. Davis, clueless Boynton, scheming Miss Enright--also received positive reviews.
Arden won a radio listeners' poll by Radio Mirror magazine as the top ranking comedienne of 1948-49, receiving her award at the end of an Our Miss Brooks broadcast that March. I'm certainly going to try in the coming months to merit the honor you've bestowed upon me, because I understand that if I win this two years in a row, I get to keep Mr. Boynton, she joked. But she was also a hit with the critics; a winter 1949 poll of newspaper and magazine radio editors taken by Motion Picture Daily named her the year's best radio comedienne.
For its entire radio life, the show was sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive-Peet, promoting Palmolive soap, Lustre Creme shampoo and Toni hair care products. The radio series continued until 1957, a year after its television life ended.
