Curated by Rotem Rozental, the group exhibition “Dead Lands” was the result of a prolonged scholarly and curatorial engagement with identity conflicts in the Middle East and their manifestation in contemporary art. Exploring how identity is shaped through land, both concrete and imagined, the participating artists use institutional systems such as archives, communal rituals, and national visual rhetoric to undermine and subvert the narratives and histories they preserve and distribute. Participating artists: Michal Bar Or, Assaf Evron, Josh Franco, Dor Guez, Gaston Zvi Ickowicz, Yaron Lapid, Metehan Ozcan, and Alona Rodeh.
