Hava Raucher Facing the Sun, 2006 Collection of the artist From the exhibition Tracing Shadows

The unexpected shapes of shadows and the mysterious ways in which they shift and transform themselves have challenged artists from various fields to capture the subject in their works. The place of shadow and silhouette in contemporary art is at the focus of this exhibition, in which visitors can experience them in various environments - creating with their bodies different shadow shapes, which are recorded and continue to flicker on a screen; taking a walk in a "Magic Forest," where their presence activates sensors that produce animal sounds and images; exploring a desert environment, in which the position of the sun can be adjusted to make shadows longer or shorter according to the time of day. All these and more offer visitors of all ages a chance to experience, activate, and marvel at shadow's many faces.

4-19.4 - Seder Night

At the seder table, the participants of the Passover meal read the Haggadah, which relates the story of the Jewish people's deliverance from bondage, and partake of traditional dishes served in ceremonial tableware symbolizing the inherent values of the Passover feast. In installations created specifically for this exhibition, artists offer their interpretations of the seder table using a surprising variety of shapes and materials
