|
Gaston Zvi Ickowicz, Menachem Kahana, Joel Kantor, Alex Levac
OPENING RECEPTION: Tue, Mar 11, 5pm-6:45pm
Free and Open to the Public
EXHIBIT DATES: Sun, Mar 2 - Tue, Apr 22
As part of the Israel at 60 celebration, the 92nd Street Y presents Out of Israel, an exhibit featuring images by four diverse Israeli photographers. Through the depiction of barren landscapes, vibrant ethnic communities, religious-secular struggles, and everyday life on the streets, Gaston Zvi Ickowicz, Menachem Kahana, Joel Kantor and Alex Levac (respectively) each take a different approach to capturing the richness and complexity of Israeli culture.
Gaston Zvi Ickowicz was born in Buenos Aires in 1974 and immigrated to Israel with his family in 1980. His photographs address the tension between human intervention and nature, as evidenced in his images of the uninhabited landscapes that surround settlement communities. Ickowicz's work has been show in the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the Israel Museum in Jerusalem and the Haifa Museum of Art.
Menachem Kahana was born in Ashkelon in 1958 and studied photography at the Hadassah College in Jerusalem. His photographs provide an intimate view of life in Israel's ultra-orthodox communities. Kahana has worked as head photographer for Associated French Press in Jerusalem since 1987 and has several images in the collection of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
Joel Kantor was born in Montreal, Canada in 1948 and earned a law degree from McGill University before immigrating to Israel in 1976. While Kantor's grainy black and white photographs depict contemporary scenes, they have a nostalgic quality that suggests another time. His works are in the collection of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem and the Jewish Museum in New York.
Alex Levac was born in Tel Aviv in 1944. After graduating with degrees in philosophy and psychology from Tel Aviv University and in photography from the London College of Printing, he began his career as a freelance photographer and eventually settled in Jerusalem. Levrac became a staff photographer for the daily newspaper Hadashot in 1983, and has held the same post for the Tel Aviv daily Ha'aretz since 1993. Along with his experience in covering hard news, Levac is known for finding humor in everyday life on the streets of Israel. In 2005, he was a recipient of the Israel Prize - the highest award Israel bestows upon its citizens.
The photographs in this exhibit are on loan from Yosefa Drescher Fine Art in West Hartford, Connecticut. |
