Lives and works in Tel Aviv, Israel.
BFA Graduate at Bezalel Academy for Art and Design, Jerusalem, Israel (1991).
BFA Graduate at Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam, Netherlands (1995).
My work deals with the tension between formalism and narrative, a tension that fascinates me and activates my work. Over the years I have gone through a transformation from using clear readable imagery to more abstract forms of representations. Yet the original imagery is always the springboard for generating meaning in the world of visual abstraction, and my installations, beyond the initial story they reveal, try to function like rhythm and music in space.
I have lived and worked in Israel, showing in both conventional and alternative spaces, from museums to gas factories and abandoned refrigeration units.
Drawing has also been an important part of my practice, emerging sometimes in order to accompany three dimensional works, sometimes to become three dimensional itself, and other times as a stand-alone medium.

Ex Machina

“Ex Machina” is an act by a group of 8 artists and a curator. Each of them are involved with every piece shown; no object was created by a single artist. An art manufacturing system that the group has developed over the last year.
The system was created to challenge the perception that puts the individual practice up on a pedes-tal. The members of the group are working as a multi-armed machine.

His plan for the stay in Barbur B&B is to ‘save’ some of his past works that were archived in the studio by re-connecting and re-installing them in Barbur gallery space in a new context.

Shirel Horovitz

Shirel Horovitz (b.1979) is an interdisciplinary artist engaging with the dynamics between the human body and the city surrounding it. Whether it’s a religious ritual, gallery hopping or the movement of shoppers in the market, the invisible mechanisms and repetitive patterns of the human movement are the starting point and motivation of her creative journeys of translation and transformation. Her installations, sculptures and events are an outcome of relations between community, object and place and invite the viewers to experience a fresh look at reality. Horovitz earned her BFA from Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem (2007), and her MA from the interdisciplinary art program in Tel Aviv University (with thesis and Summa Cum Laude), Her works are in private collections in Israel and USA and were exhibited in museums and galleries in Israel and the US, among them Colby College Museum of Art, Durham Municipal Gallery, Artist Studios Gallery in Tel Aviv, Hayarkon 19, Mobi – Museums of Bat Yam, Barbur Gallery and more. She is recipient of the Rabinovich prize for 2018 and is currently working on a new body of work in her studio in Tel Aviv. Alongside her art practice, she lectures and teaches in a variety of places in Israel and the US, among them Hamegama in Ashdod Museum of Art, art teachers programs, Dorot foundation, CSP Orange County, CWB Pittsburgh and more. Her teaching fields and expertise are the meeting point between fine arts and historical, political, cultural narratives.
