Artist Profile: Ofri Cnaani
Art News Worldwide interviews AMG artist Ofri Cnaani.
Your works use technology in a variety of ways, often emphasizing what is old tech versus newer, shinier technology, or slowness versus the pace of new invention. Even though you utilize technology to the fullest, as is quite obvious from the technical specifications of the Sota Project, where the narrative develops on all four walls of the gallery space, using multiple projectors and synchronizers. How did technology develop alongside this project, and what did you look at in order to shape the aesthetic of this video work?
As far as I’m concerned the adaptation of Sota happened on two levels—one is, of course, the level of the story, but the other was the way I wanted to tell the story in the form of a spatial narrative…
Yale Art News interviews Tamar Ettun
Michelle Hackman, contributing editor from the Yale Art News asks:
Q: What inspired you to work with hot air balloons?
A: [It happened] by chance. When I did my army service in Israel, I was in an elite paratroopers unit. I wasn’t a fighter; I was an educational instructor and dealt with everything culture-related. We were only four girls and 170 guys, so it was a very intense service with lots of drama, operations and people dying and getting hurt. I was very idealistic [at the start].

Interview with a Collector
It’s a rare opportunity to see artwork in the context of a client’s collection. To gain insight on what a person collects and why they collect is truly an intimate reflection of who they are. Thankfully, Columbus Underground, an online local guide to Columbus, Ohio, has taken up such an endeavor.
Below is a link to Columbus Underground’s blog post about the collection of Jung Kim – a young art collector who has always been interested in supporting the arts. Look for Rina Castelnuovo’s work “Alumim” highlighted in this collection.

While public transportation to Red Hook, Brooklyn is known for being difficult, perhaps the best way to get there is by bike!
Brooklyn by Bike is offering a bike tour of the new bike path that travels along the Brooklyn Waterfront ending the ride at Kidd Yellin Gallery to catch Tamar Ettun’s multi-media installation and performance piece Saturday, November 12th.
Anita, from Brooklyn by Bike says:
This is a casual ride and a fun oportunity to meet fellow bike loving folks as we check out some lesser known spots in Brooklyn.
