Planetary Landscapes * Last chance to visit the exhibition of the Californian artist Ned Kahn. Sukkot at the Bloomfield Science Museum Jerusalem * The "House on Mars" exhibition will continue
Water, air currents, fog and sand are the materials that the Californian artist Ned Kahan uses in his works. The exhibition features interactive sculptures that invite visitors to touch them and activate them. By activating them, the exhibits create countless forms of whirlwinds, sandstorms, avalanches and tornadoes. According to the artist: "My work refers to the questions of nature. But unlike the focused questions of scientists, I don't expect to receive numerical answers but visual ones."
Next to the sculptures hang landscape photographs from space and the earth itself, including the shapes that served as a model for those in the sculptures.
Guest exhibition from the Space and Science Museum in Oakland, California - Chabot.
About the artist: Ned Kahan was born in 1960. He studied botany and environmental studies at the University of Chicago. In his work Kahan refers to the mutual influence between science and art. In the years 1982-1996 he served as the artist-in-residence at the Exploratorium in San Francisco and worked with its legendary founder and director, Dr. Frank Oppenheimer. His works are exhibited throughout the US and Europe in science and art museums, universities and public centers.
And in addition to Sukkot:
"Sunrise on Mars" - an extraordinary meeting between an astronomer from NASA and Rafi, the boy from Israel, who is a freak of stars, aliens and spaceships. During their conversation, we realize that flying to Mars is not like jumping to neighbors... on Mars there are no aliens, the flight time is six months, and at the end of the journey we arrive at a particularly cruel planet: a huge red desert, terrible frost, terrible sandstorms and meteorites that crash violently. together with Rafi are disappointed but still hope...
Fun science demonstration. Writing and directing - Uri Weil. Game - Uri Weil/Habib Mizrahi (alternately). For children from the age of 4. (Payment). On Monday - Thursday - the holiday of Sukkot.
"Picnic from the movies" - a pantomime show about a sympathetic vagabond who wanted to treat himself to a perfect and beautiful day.
