Join artist Yael Bartana for a conversation about her work with Slawomir Sierakowski, founder and chief editor of Krytyka Polityczna magazine. The conversation will be moderated by Chen Tamir, an independent curator and arts writer based in New York, Toronto and Tel Aviv; Tamir is also Program & Operations Manager at Artis.
Yael Bartana is an Israeli-born artist and filmmaker now based in Amsterdam, Berlin and Tel Aviv. Her film trilogy And Europe will be Stunned (2007–11) was shown as part of the Polish Pavilion at the 54th International Venice Biennale in 2011. The films revolve around a political movement—the Jewish Renaissance Movement in Poland—invented by Bartana. As the artist says, “This is a very universal story; as in previous works, I have treated Israel as a sort of a social laboratory, always looking at it from the outside.” In 2010, she won the Artes Mundi prize for work that stimulates thinking about the human condition.
