The Tel Aviv Museum of Art, in association with Artis, presented Host & Guest, a platform of nine exhibitions, workshops, and events focused on philosophical, political, literary, architectural, and artistic concerns following from Jacques Derrida’s book, Of Hospitality, and Immanuel Kant’s essay, “Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Sketch.”

Conceptualized and directed by Steven Henry Madoff, “Host & Guest” was developed by an international team, including curators Ana Paul Cohen, Hou Hanru, Jeffrey Schnapp, Joshua Simon, Madoff, and artists Dora Garcia, Raqs Media Collective, Kimsooja, and David Tartakover. Participating artists, architects, theorists, and activists included Kasper Akhøj, Franco “Bifo” Berardi, Mabe Bethonico, Angela Detanico and Rafael Lain, Zvi Efrat, Nir Evron, Giulia Girardello, Dor Guez, Alma Itzhaky, Miki Kratsman, Armin Linke, Renata Lucas, Eli Petel, Aldo Piromalli, Roee Rosen, Yehudit Sasportas, Liu Xiaodong, Raphael Zagury-Orly, and Mich’ael Zupraner, among others.
