Exhibition | Pantograph

The Master’s Program in Policy and Theory of the Arts and Department of Visual and Material Culture at Bezalel, in collaboration with The Liturgical Festival in Nazareth and Jerusalem International YMCA, invites to the exhibition  "Pantograph".

The spaces of the Jerusalem International YMCA building play host to a dialogue between traditional technique and contemporary expression in art. In October of 1927, Bezalel founder Boris Schatz was invited to take part in creating artworks for the YMCA building, the construction of which began the previous year. Ze’ev Raban was chosen to oversee the sculpture, wood, and copper works – some created by himself and others by Bezalel students and artists such as Meir Gur-Arie, Batia Lishansky, and Shmuel Melnik. 

The works in the Pantograph exhibition were created by artists who are teachers or graduates of the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. Through various media, they examine how art becomes a means of personal exploration; of a search for patterns and meaning beyond the replication of form - using the pantograph, a device for copying shapes; or of replication and change as a mode of creation in the present moment.
