A group of people with lice: modern Art?
This is the question that visitors to one of Israel's art galleries ask themselves. You can admire an unusual exhibition there. A group of young people lived in the building together with… lice on their heads. Modern art is often confusing. The creators try to outdo each other in new ideas to shock the audience. We have a story about artists for you, who have become objects themselves “art”. A group of young Germans decided to live in the Bat Yam Museum, near Tel Aviv. Young people sleep there, they eat and wash themselves. Lice live with them, which artists breed on their heads. – The point is, that as guests of the gallery, we also have guests ourselves, our lice – said 23-year-old Vincent Grunwald. Like all members of the group, he wears a plastic cap on his head, which is to prevent lice from jumping onto the visitors. The whole group admits, that they are not comfortable, but they do it for the sake of the project. Everyone is very happy to talk to visitors about the meaning of their work.
– Art has not been a picture hanging on the wall for a long time. Art is life, and life is art – comments on the unusual exhibition of Milan Gitzin-Adiram, gallery curator. To, what the artists certainly managed to achieve, it is the blurring of the boundary between art and reality. Only where is this art?
