Exhibit Description
Peeler Art Center, University Gallery (Upper Level) Inspired by the Orthodox Jewish tradition of the Messiah (the Prophet) who will arrive riding on a white donkey, this 10-year photographic project features portraits and landscapes made in Israel. This project is the result of Yaakov Israel’s search for a deeper understanding of his country and an attempt to relay his personal experiences on the Israeli reality with a broader sense of belonging to the global human collective. Curated by Director & Senior Curator Mark Sloan, the exhibition consists of 42 images, printed in various sizes. Though his work has been shown widely in exhibitions throughout Europe, this will be Yaakov Israel’s first exhibition in the US. A book documenting the project has been published by Schilt Publishing (Amsterdam) in 2012.
