We’ve been invited to do a DIY aerial Photography workshop in Yaffo 23 Gallery, Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem. The workshop was given as part of the exhibition Experiments in Techniques of Awakening in July 2012. Here you can see some of the aerial photos and the stitched map. Based on the PublicLaboratory.org tools and methods and conducted by Hagit Keysar and Zemer Sat.
Too Much Talk about Space
Ayelet Lerman in collaboration with Neta Cohen, Guy Yitzhaki and Zemer Sat
Curators: Sala-manca group
The project Too Much Talk about Space, concluding 18 months of Ayelet Lerman’s stay at Mamuta’s Studios is an invitation to a wonder visit which embodies a fascinating encounter between sound and visual art in four performances that were turned into unique musical instruments: a metal chimney attached on the mechanism of an old carousel is transformed into a rotating instrument on which she plays, attached to it by her artificial hair. The viewers watch as they spin on another carousel or swing on a seesaw. Another work incorporates Ayelet and Zemer Sat into Sala-manca’s installation Church of Criticism, turning the (wooden) church into a resonance box with taut strings along its length, as the church itself becomes the instrument of the uncompromising luthiers. Another collaboration, with Guy Yizhaki, is a dream in the sounds of spring nights, taking place in the building’s backyard. Lerman’s sound and playing activate Yizhaki’s video work, forming a dialogue that illustrates the wondrous reality of the site, located in a complex historical and political space. The last work is 5 Minutes of Silence, collaboration between Lerman and Neta Cohen, in which the environmental noises were composed and emphasized to illustrate the silence, in a dialogue with John Cage’s famous work, 4:33.
Ayelet Lerman is a sound, performance and installation artist, creating at the Daniela Passal Art and Media Center as an artist in residence. She graduated the School of Visual Theater, and received the 2010 Jerusalem Mayor award for her graduation work. She studied viola at the Music Academy in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Bologna (Italy). She collaborated with various artists and displayed her works in festivals, culture events and exhibitions. This is her first solo exhibition.
The exhibition is a joint production of Mamuta at the Daniela Passal Art and Media Center and Hazira
On the same evening, we will also hold an Open Studio featuring Mamuta’s artists – a group of artists working and creating in the center’s studios: Li Lorian (performance); Maytal Rotenberg (installation); Talia Tokatly(sound work), Asya Lukin (sculptures and objects from the animation film she is working on); Itamar Mendes-Flohr (sculptures on light) ; B.Z.

Storageroom features complete digitized exhibitions ready for download and display at various venues by secondary curators
The Storageroom features complete exhibitions that are available for download, which underwent a process of digitalization so as to preserve the full quality after they have been downloaded in their respective formats (video, sound, photography, text etc.). After they have been downloaded, the exhibitions could be displayed in the venues available to the secondary curators (those who chose to download the exhibitions) and the conditions they have at their disposal.
The same exhibition could be displayed simultaneously by agents of completely dissimilar nature and financial means: as the exhibition will be displayed differently, and convey cultural and curatorial perceptions that reflect not only the perception of the exhibition’s curators, but also those of the secondary curators displaying it.
Steps:
1. Exhibition digitized preserving the full quality of media. Exhibiting recommendations and instructions compiled.
2. Exhibition is uploaded by artist or curator, copyright delegated to Storageroom
3. Exhibition downloaded by secondary curator, undigitized and exhibited at available venue

“If Mount Herzl is the mountain of remembrance or the mountain of Zionist historical consciousness, by way of the line stretching between Yad Vashem and Israel’s national cemetery, then in the topography of Israeli remembrance, Ein Karem is the wadi of oblivion or the valley of Zionist historical subconscious. The New Museum of the Contemporary constitutes a new point on the map of institutions of Israeli consciousness, illustrating its three-dimensional triangle. Of the three points, the museum is the deepest point.” (Rodriguez, from the curatorial text of the museum’s inaugural exhibition)
The first exhibition produced at the Museum of the Contemporary’s physical space is an exhibition of Sala-Manca group. This is the group’s first exhibition since 2006. The exhibition will feature new sculptures, sound works and performances created especially for the exhibition, in conjunction with works created in collaboration with Hadas Ophrat, Wanja Shaub and Mamuta collective. The exhibited works serve as a comment on local history, urban politics and the architectural structure in which the exhibition is held – an Arab house in Ein Karem located midway along the pilgrimage trail to the Church of the Visitation. The building was declared absentee property by the State of Israel in 1948 and purchased by the artist Daniela Passal in 1972 who later donated it towards the establishment of an art centre - the Mamuta at the Daniela Passal Art and Media Centre, which have been operating on site since October 2009.
