Sweet Sweet Sun

Grantees
Gili Avissar
Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, Germany
January 15–March 1, 2026
Exhibition Grant

Artist Gili Avissar presents new immersive textile installations developed during a six month residency at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, supported by Artis via the Residency Partnership Initiative. Exploring the temporary and uncertain conditions of contemporary artistic work, the exhibition focuses on moments of attraction, hesitation, and commitment, showing how artistic choices are shaped by mobility, expectation, and impermanence. Avissar interprets these dynamics visually, transforming the exhibition space into a scenographic environment of concealment and display. Patchwork fabrics, hanging drapes and costumes evoke forests, stage sets, and disguises, creating a playful yet unsettling atmosphere that suggests innocence and fantasy while simultaneously alluding to seduction, surveillance, and power.
