Sussita

The Israeli motorcar industry became entwined with Israel’s life-story from the day the State was born.
The riveting narrative of the industry’s establishment in Haifa gives a glimpse of a vision: to make Israel a part of the international automobile scene. Its car factories, and especially the Autocars Company that assembled the familiar Sussita car, constitute a notable chapter in the first three decades of statehood.

The Wave Effect - From a Japanese to Global Icon

New Exhibition

The concept of this exhibition touches on the three elements that make up the Great Wave -- wave, boats, and Mount Fuji. These elements are represented here in the works of Japanese and Israeli artists and are translated into the language of the period in which they were created. The element of the wave is examined through works in which it is a stylized force of nature, an ethereal boundary line, a metaphor for social isolation, and a representation of existential anxiety; not necessarily anxiety related to natural disasters. The element of boats between the waves is associated with works about war in Japanese art and with works dealing with personal and national assimilation in Israeli art. The element of the mountain appears in traditional Japanese works that emphasize different perspectives of the mountain, alongside Israeli artworks which express the attraction to the mountain. The exhibition also gives space to young artists who respond to the work using diverse visual means and in defiant and different ways.
