Opening - 30/03/2007 | Water in Art and Life
Water is the source of all living things. It covers most of the Earth's surface, falls from
the sky, gushes from beneath the ground, mists the air, and constitutes an essential
part of the bodies of all living creatures. A basic condition for human society, water defines the borders of the world's cultures. Sanctifying, purifying, healing, and refreshing, it embodies the very flow of life, but it also harbors unpredictable, destructive forces. Even though water has no color, taste, or smell, we witness its power in roaring waterfalls, tranquil pools, stormy seas, and in the drizzle of the rain. In this Youth Wing exhibition, water is presented through the eyes of Israeli and international artists, who use it as a form of expression and as a tool with which to explore environmental, social, and personal issues. Featuring interactive installations, video works and photography, objects from the Museum's collections, and research and activity corners that broaden our knowledge and expand our understanding of water.
