Masterclass: Tuesday 14/09/21 at 19:30
As part of the 10 year celebrations of the Benyamini Center, artists, designers, and makers were invited to submit a proposal for a summer residency in the studio of the center.
The Benyamini Center has offered residencies for several years and we have hosted artists from Israel and abroad. This project is a collaborative project offered by the Benyamini School of Ceramic Art and the Benyamini Gallery and will focus on local artists/designers. It has received the support of Mifal Hapais and the winners will receive a work station in the studio, materials, professional guidance as needed and a stipend.
Elad Rosen is an artist whose work lies between the abstract and figurative, creating tension between the colorful, naïve spontaneity and chaotic, violent and anxious content – dissonance that appears as a grotesque parody. In the past few years Elad has worked with clay and continues with the image of the strawberry which identifies his work. During his residency he has experimented using plaster molds to create a series of works transforming the single strawberry into an army of strawberries inspired by the Chinese Terra Cotta soldiers.
Tamara Efrat is a multi disciplinary designer and entrepreneur . Her works deal with the connection between traditional craft and advanced technologies. She tries to preserve and reinstate craft using digital technology. During her residency she will focus on the repetitive patterns of Palestinian embroidery that are suited to algorithm analysis and digital translation and through the use of rollers, stamps, etc she will begin her process using clay.
The masterclass will be broadcast on Zoom – advance registration, free entrance
