Visit the Exhibition: My Life at the Moment

A new exhibition at the Beit Avi Chai Gallery in Jerusalem:

My Life at the Moment

Featuring the artists: Meydad Eliyahu · Raya Bruckenthal · Noga Greenberg · Elkana Levi · Alon Kedem

What happens to artistic creation when war becomes a prolonged reality—at home, at the front, and in between?
Beit Avi Chai’s exhibition brings together works by five notable Jerusalem-based artists, created over two turbulent years,
from the massacre and surprise attack on Israel on Simchat Torah 5784 through the ceasefire on the eve of Simchat Torah 5786.

These were two Israeli years whose events, in any other country, might have filled decades of history—events that met artistic practice in different ways: directly or indirectly, explicitly or abstractly.
Executed in diverse media—painting, drawing, photography, and print—the works offer a window into the artistic workshop:
instinctive responses that investigate and probe, registering moods and emotions that breached the protected space of the studio and fractured it.

The exhibition takes its title from a line by the Jerusalem poet Israel Eliraz (1936–2017), who urged us to look at reality through art—to isolate the moment, with all the
contradictions and emotions it carries. This is the perspective we seek to offer here as well, after two years of war that has not fully ended. The reckoning remains unfinished.
This is our life at the moment.
