‘Architecture and Art: A Mutual Feedback’ Exhibition, Tel-Aviv, January 1990

Exhibiting at Julie M. Gallery, Tel-Aviv

Artists including Nahum Tevet, Osvaldo Romberg, Zvi Hecker and Yael Reisner

It was my fourth exhibition since being back in Tel-Aviv, and the second time I exhibited with Zvi Hecker.1 The exhibition consited of two artists and two architects: Nahum Tevet, Osvaldo Romberg, Zvi Hecker and myself.

A new development of the floating raft project I designed as a student at the AA few years earlier. This time I designed it for the Sea of Galilee, a sweet water lake, an anchored raft, like an island in the lake, to swim to and having a rest. I exhibited scaled models, and the collages that lead to these models, made of xerox cuttings of early models and white tipp-ex. The models were hanged in the gallery and the dimensions of this floating space were about 1.20 x 0.60 x 1.40m. I used rusted metal flat cuts and thin rods, balsa wood, and clear Perspex. An ironmonger, with whom I worked with in my second project, did the cutting and welding of the iron parts; I built the rest. The result was a horizontal silhouette juxtaposed with a vertical one, located one along the other.
