Petri

'Petri' creates a perceptual pull between two-dimensional sculpture and three-dimensional drawing and engages with the internal space of The Vault - beyond just the walls, floor and ceiling, but using the space between these surfaces.

Port of the Red City

Haifa is a city as sleepy as it is ancient, known also as the Red City for its communist character and the philosophies of its inhabitants. The works in this exhibition convey the states the artist endured while living in the Red City, giving an uneasy, relentlessly restless account of his life, which is echoed in the city itself. The exhibition includes paintings, mixed media images and jewellery - all supported by photographs of the Red City and the artists' life in it.
