I wonder if they did that on purpose so as to remove any 'labels' and let the work speak for itself? Thanks for the first-hand account. And please keep me posted on any new items or info from your neck of the woods! :) Thanks That’s really interesting.

There were quite a few very interesting pieces. Unforetunately our Hebrew isn't good enough to understand what was written on the pieces. Meaning was up to you as there was nothing to explain what the artist was trying to say. What was striking was the shortage of work by Palestinian artists. My sense there maybe 5-10 pieces, and a couple of "joint" works. The overwhelming majority were Israeli. While there was nothing to specifically state whether the artist is Israeli or Palestinian, I developed my impression based on artist names. My daughter and I went to the show last week.

And I hate when people bring up the Holocaust as an example of what happens when people are 'intolerant' of each other. It's almost insulting to suggest that it was that simple back then. And not parallel in any way to what's happening here in the Middle East. Totally.

That Arabs and Jews should put aside their differences and have gay love? I don't get the pink writing. And also, why is it just in Hebrew? Why not Arabic? Doesn't sound too coexistence oriented to me... What is Aliza Olmert trying to say exactly? That Arabs and Jews should put aside their differences and have gay love? I don’t get the pink writing.
