ausblick/kitekintés 17.: Art TLV 09



Art TLV, the International art biennial to be held September 10–24, 2009, will be the main art event of Tel Aviv-Yafo's centennial celebrations, featuring leading contemporary Israeli and International artists creating exhibitions, installations, performances, screenings and talks throughout the city.

Following the success of the first edition of Art TLV in 2008, Art TLV biennial now coincides with the Athens and Istanbul biennials to foster contemporary art experimentation and exchange in the Mediterranean cultural triangle. Art TLV 09 will be attended by curators, writers, and art enthusiasts from around the world to explore the city's bourgeoning contemporary art scene, World Heritage Architecture, and the multiple culture identities and developments in the city.

The 100th Anniversary of Tel Aviv is the starting point for a festival that addresses visual representations and layers of the Modern City as explored through constant construction and deconstruction. Works by 40 Israeli and international artists deal with myths, materials and concepts connected to Tel Aviv Artists include Sigalit Landau, Yael Bartana, Jan Tichy, Yochai Avrahami, Nira Pereg, Michal Ullman, Miri Segal, Francis Alys, Shahar Yahalom, Sharon Yaari, Sue Mei Tse, Carlos Garaicoa, Kader Attia, Allora e Calzadilla, Laurence Weiner, Smadar Dreyfus, Liron Rotman, Ann Liselgaard, Efrat Kedem, Fikret Atay, Michal Neeamn, Toony Navok, Aharon Ozeri, Grazia Toderi, and many more.
