Adina Bar-On – Performance artis
Born December 19, 1951 in Kibbutz Kfar Blum, Israel, is a pioneer performance artist, considered to be the first performance artist in IsraelActive for four decades, Bar-On’s work continuously explores the relationship between identity and presence, and most importantly “conflict of identity and conflicting identities”. Her performances consist of unique use of human body and voice expression. Adina’s work emphasizes strong connection of art and non-structural ethics of behavior, and introduces it by activating audience’s high levels of attention and consciousness.
Adina has been an active performer since 1973, when she was a 3rd year student at the Bezalel Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Jerusalem. Over the years, she has presented her work in Art Museums, culture events, and galleries, in Israel, Europe, across Asia, Canada and the USA. Making it her business to emphasize her political and social stand, she has insistently performed in social and political events.
Since the mid 1970’s she has taught painting, visual communication, and performance art, in the various institutions of higher learning in Israel and abroad. Her unique methodology of teaching visual communication has evolved in her workshops at Bezalel Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Jerusalem.
In recent years, she feels the growing urgency to channel her educational initiatives to promote other ways of discussion about Differences; The project “Aesthetics and Bias – Polish Israeli Art Student Meeting” has been an educational initiative between Bezalel Academy and four prominent Polish Institutions of higher art education, as well as careful initiatives between Bezalel Academy and Dar al Kalima in Palestine. In 2001 Bar-On was awarded a major prize for her contribution to Israeli art by the American Israel Cultural Foundation, and Idit Porat`s book, Adina Bar-On, Performance Artist, was published in the same year.
