Exhibitions

The works presented in these two exhibitions are the result of activities carried out over the past year by three artists of the "Space for Community Art." This program at the Haifa Museums encourages artistic practice that is attentive to the place and the local community, initiating processes in the city's neighborhoods, which reinforce art's social power and increase the public need for art. As part of this program, artists based in the greater Haifa area, selected by a professional committee, receive close curatorial support as well as conceptual and practical training for artistic action in the community. Community members participating in the project play a substantial part in the artistic process.

Our body works all the time, even at night, when we sleep: the heart beats and pumps blood to all parts of the body, the lungs fill with air and empty, and there are many other systems in the body that work nonstop so that we feel well. These actions produce heat, which is known as "body heat."
Panels painted in shades of red and blue hang along the wall. They were painted with a special paint sensitive to heat, which disappears in contact with the skin. Try touching the panels and see how your body heat affects the paint.
