“Speak Out!”

The sculpting installation “Speak Out!” by artist Sophie Halbreich calls the public to fight against being silenced and go out to vote. The installation, which is comprised of 90 heads, hand made by the artist, has been displayed at one of the most famous squares in the city of Tel Aviv, Israel. Displayed during two full days, this installation was both an outcry and a clear-cut message for encouraging the public to let their voice be heard on the not-too-long-ago election day, last March 23rd . Sophie Halbreich has devoted her time to expressive art, which has become her main medium for fighting for what she has always believed to be of utmost important – self-expression – voicing of opinions...

Wasteland

Recently attending a small exhibition, I have seen very powerful works. Next to the main entrance, there are panoramic photos taken by Henry Fair.

Does man dominate nature?

Does man dominate nature, or is he dominated by the pride of dominating it? We built a society that values man kind for the quality of their suits, measures seriousness by the fabric of their tie and assesses the weight of a ballpoint pen by the billions of contracts it signs. The man, in fact, is not a man in fact. Man sign agreements that murder the world, kills the hope that radiates from green plants in exchange for gray skies. Man exchange the air of freedom for air conditioning. With decrees, he raises concrete giants and builds roads that lead life to an uncertain future. The man, in fact, is not a man in fact. Years of evolution and...
