The Museum of the Contemporary


The first exhibition produced at the Museum of the Contemporary’s physical space is an exhibition of Sala-Manca group The exhibition  features new sculptures, sound works and performances created especially for the exhibition, in conjunction with works created in collaboration with Hadas Ophrat, Wanja Shaub, Mamuta collective and MamutaEduLAb. 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.
