Opening: February 6, 2010
Curators: Tami Katz-Freiman and Rotem Ruff
Dana Levy will be one of the many artists involved in “Shelf Life” the central exhibition in an exhibition cluster concerned with collecting, collections and collectors, which is scheduled to open in February 2010 at the Haifa Museum of Art. The exhibition will demonstrate how contemporary Israeli and international artists relate in their works to a range of collecting practices; it will explore the aesthetic syntax of different collections, and examine some of the psychological aspects of collecting and of the artist-collector’s obsessive world. The works included in the exhibition will reflect the aesthetic of “collections,” and will also capture something of the thrust towards excessive accumulation and the pleasures related to satisfying the desire to possess.

Mitterrand+Sanz is pleased to present Making Evidence, the first solo exhibition in Switzerland of Mexican artist Ricardo Rendón (1970).
Making Evidence presents a series of works, composed by interventions in the gallery space and various materials. A hand perforated blind and sheetrock walls, arranged metal rod structures, rubbed shapes on sand paper or industrial felts trimmed in organic shapes are just a few examples which appear as testimonies of different work procedures within the exhibition space, where the art is presented as a fact and evidence of the creative execution.

Dream life of angels, 2009, acrylic on canvas, 30x78 inches
‘Winter White’ exhibition is open from January 7 through January 21, 2010.
The resulting painting, sculpture and mixed media vary in style and form, yet have unifying theme of color which creates a harmonious scene that bursts with variety and energy. The artists bring their own skill set and aesthetic to their work, so the effects range from calming to provocative to thrilling. The full spectrum of white is represented, so the exhibition does not feel monochromatic or one-dimensional, but rather rich, textured and layered. Among the eight artists was Francine Tint whose work is a beautiful and subdued painting.

Slip Sliding 2009
‘Natural Abstraction’ opened November 28, 2009 and will run through February 14, 2010.
Seldom does a viewer see what a painter sees. Writers about art often turn to other artists and schools to categorize the art they are looking at, or second-guess what they perceive to be emotional or psychological messages subliminally secreted in the works, or draw from their own experience to “complete” the paintings, that is, participate in the imaginative world from which the art comes. These approaches are often interesting and insightful, giving readers interpretations and guidelines for their own viewing. Frances Thomas’ work, however, I think demands just persistent looking, a means of permitting the paint and colour of her works to accumulate and separate into new experiences.
