Yana Rotner and Sigalit Landau at “An Asana Moment”, a group exhibition at Eretz Israel Museum.
We are pleased to announce that Yana Rotner and Sigalit Landau will be showing at “An Asana Moment”, a group exhibition at the Eretz Israel Museum curated by Raz Samira.
The exhibition An Asana Moment emerged from the current reality in Israel to answer a basic mental need for respite, for some distance from the painful, frightening events, and to address some amorphic, abstract, calm healing for the soul. The exhibition presents video works and photographs created by 23 international contemporary artists, merging into a unique mixture of sound, color and form.
The exhibition’s title comes from yoga asanas, postures that align the body during practice and meditation. Asanas help harmonize and quieten the mind and focus awareness. They are known to release pain and to heal; when performed mindfully, with attention to the breath, they can break down stress and mental obstacles. Asanas bring relief and a sense of satisfaction and tranquility. In this exhibition, we wish to introduce some of the qualities of yoga asanas into our reality, if only for a moment.
Yana Rotner on her new photogram works: Nocturne l and Nocturne ll are new works created in the darkroom, echoing the emotions perceived during a white night. A night which is also a fragment of the unknown. Rainer Maria Rilke describes in his book “August Rodin” the effect Rotner tries to capture: “this mysterious shining which emanates from white stones when the night falls.”
Opening: 29th of March, 11:30, Eretz Israel Museum, Chaim Levanon St 2, Tel Aviv-Yafo.
