An exhibition exploring the complexities of Israel and Palestine through the language of video installation and painting.
1 December 2010 – 20 January 2011, Closed 24 December 2010 – 3 January 2011. Monday–Saturday 10am–5pm Free entry.
Over Where brings together visual artists Madeline Strindberg and Judy Price who both explore representations of Israel and Palestine.
Within this Narrow Strip of Land, 2008 is a video and sound installation by Judy Price and explores ways in which communities and individuals are framed and incited by the irreversibility of loss in Israel and Palestine.
The central part of the Strindberg’s work is ‘Over Where’, a triptych representing one land with two rightful owners, Israel and Palestine. Taking the centre stage of the triptych is ‘Bleeding’, a long and thin amorphous golden creature (Israel/Palestine) which is flanked by 2 large, predominantly bright red paintings that comment on the uncertainty and the unknown aspect of the outcome of the negotiations and the inherent violence of the current situation. ‘The Wall’ is a diagrammatic rendition of the current actual state of affairs. Other paintings include ‘The Flotilla Incident’, and Hebron’, one of the strongholds of the Occupation, while ‘Neharot’ is addressing feelings of separation and suffering due to the political situation in the land.
