Explore the Jerusalem night with Bezalel! Night Cruise, Jerusalem is a unique exhibition of artwork by students from Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem. 17 video and photographic art works will be displayed in 17 different locations in central Jerusalem. It all starts at 21:00 at HaKatze Bar, 4 Shoshan Street, Jerusalem on May 12, 2011. The exhibit is curated by: Yuval Atsily, Chen Valiano, and Shay Mizrach and will be up until May 26, 2011.
From the press release: The Night Cruise exhibition was inspired by the desire to create an interaction between the streets of Jerusalem and the artworks of students who live and create in them, while addressing the winds of change in the city.
The exhibition will feature about 17 video art and stills presentations, in 17 different locations in central Jerusalem. The “base” of the exhibition is a map, taking the young people out on the town, on a ‘cruise’ around Jerusalem, where they will discover an artwork at every spot they visit, capturing the spirit of the location.
The search itself transforms the cruising viewer into an active participant in the art scene, which spreads across a substantial and main part of Jerusalem.
The students’ projects were not joined by a certain theme. Their common denominator is, in fact, their lack of unison. Each project originated from the students interests and unique perspective.
