Art Mimics Social Networking

Crossposted from Haaretz It’s nothing new for an artist or gallery to harness Facebook and other social media to spread the word and bring people in, but now the Tel Aviv Museum of Art has taken it a step further, by mimicking the platform for a new art exhibit. “Facelook” is intended for the whole…

Man and Machine, Together and on Display

Crossposted from Haaretz What a pleasure it is to enter a space that conveys relevance of language, even before delving into the details.

No Bears Are Back in Town

Crossposted from Haaretz Up until around two years ago, Lo Dubim (which translates to “No Bears”) was one of the most active and well-liked bands in the Tel Aviv and festival indie scene, from InDNegev to the Menashe Forest Festival and back in time to the Hutzmizeh Festival.

Joined by Oud

Crossposted from Haaretz The closing performance of the Jerusalem Oud Festival, starring the singer Aynur Dogan, exemplified the festival’s beauty and necessity. Even in times when the word “flotilla” brought to mind pleasant connotations, Israeli music lovers did not have many opportunities to enjoy a leading Turkish singer.

Monday Music: Haredi Hip-Hop Rocks Tel Aviv

Crossposted from Haaretz The mostly secular crowed at Mike’s Place in Tel Aviv had a religious experience last week when the five-piece Haredi Hip Hop band Shtar took to the stage, traditional wardrobe intact.
