Artists Respond to Trauma
A week after 7 October 2023, various visual-art initiatives began to awaken in a quest for self-expression. A torrent of images started to flood the network, their modes of expression and non-expression as varied as were the voices and identities. Some artists plunged into shock and silence, others found comfort in artmaking, and yet others turned their concern toward the Other through art or other media. Some responses were personal and spontane…
The Bereaved Daughter
This article deals with the intersection between bereavement, gender, and art in the context of the cult of the fallen in Israel, focusing on the life story and artwork of two women artists, Asnat Austerlitz (b. 1969) and Michal Shachnai Yaakobi (b. 1967) who experienced orphanhood in a military context. Adopting the two-track model of bereavement suggested by Simon Rubin in 1981, the article offers an analytical, interdisciplinary examination of…
Body, Ethnicity, and Gender in Video Art Works of Three Mizrahi-Masorti Women Artists in Post-Secular Israel
Amid the social and political changes that Israel has seen in recent decades, gender and ethnicity and their place in Jewish rituals are finding more and more representation in art discourse and visual culture. Life in a Jewish and democratic state, as Israel defines itself, lays questions of halakha (codified religious law) at the doorsteps of Jewish women, religious or not. Thus, halakhic issues appear in the current works of Orthodox women art…
Living Room” and “Family Gaze” in Contemporary Israeli Art
How do representations of living rooms, domestic artifacts, and family gaze articulate "local home images" in contemporary Israeli art? The article examines comparatively the way artists from different ethnic backgrounds assume the "inside agent" role toward their own cultural identity or the "outside agent" role in the home of the "Other". Both inside and outside have adopted ethnographic or pseudo-ethnographic strategies in the wake of the "eth…
The Historical Memory Law and its role in redesigning semiotic cityscapes in Spain
In its Historical Memory Law (October 2007), Spain recognized victims on both sides of its 1936–1939 Civil War and established entitlements for victims and descendants of victims of the war and the Franco regime that followed (1939–1975). The law requires authorities to remove Francoist symbols and signs from public buildings and spaces, rename streets and squares, and cleanse the public space of monuments and artifacts that glorify or commemorat…
Motherhood and nation
This article offers an interpretive reading of current works of art by women that indicate the paradoxical place of the woman artist as a mother in the cycle of militarism and attitudes toward the discourse of bereavement and commemoration. My hypothesis is that the arts herald or anticipate the trauma by seeking to express something that may be called “pre- and counter-commemoration.” This interpretation of these artists' stance expands on insig…
The Yemeni Ideal in Israeli Culture and Arts
The study of Israel's visual culture 1 of the 1950s and 1960s enables us to understand the way Israeli society was established and how it created representations of itself. It illustrates how visual culture may be perceived as a signifying-system 2 that encompasses institutions, objects, practices, values and beliefs, and reveals the manner in which society produces and consumes visual reality. 3
