And we’re doing it through the prism of space, through the thinking of space, and how it was drastically altered during this time of crisis,” she explains.Īnat Martkovich, a curator at Haifa Museum “COVID-19 happened and our take on space changed drastically,” says Martkovich, “It became an exhibition that wants to deal with more emotional, cultural themes and feelings that have arisen during the crisis. Prior to the opening of the new exhibitions, the curators had the current theme of space in mind but had no idea they would focus on COVID-19. The other curators include Svetlana Reingold, Limor Alpern Zered, Yifat Ashkenazi, and Sagit Zaluf Namir. Martkovich is one of five curators that worked on the cluster of exhibits throughout the museum, entitled Spaces in Turmoil. Israeli artist Avital Bar-Shai’s ‘Untitled’ installation shows strong crisscrossing pillars an example of a barrier to space. “I think there was an urgent need to respond to what’s happening,” Anat Martkovich, a curator at the museum, tells NoCamels. Through the work of 50 local artists in nine exhibitions, the museum says it is the first to dedicate its entire artistic space to the COVID-19 crisis.
