The BIARTS grant is supporting a cultural exchange program of artists from UK’s The Showroom and Holon’s The Centre for Digital Art. Israeli curators Ran Kasmy Ilan and Eyal Danon will be visiting London’s Church Street ward and then UK artists Emily Pethick and Louise Shelley will travel to the Jessy Cohen neighbourhood in Holon. Both arts institutes are devoted to endeavours that speak about and to their communities. The project not only exposes visiting artists to new communities and inspirations, but it aims to establish a strong artistic network and productive collaboration between the two groups of artists. The first leg of the exchange will start in December when Kasmy Ilan and Danon fly to London.
The Centre for Digital Art will also be welcoming the UK-based artistic group Mongrel to the Jessy Cohen neighbourhood in Holon. During their stay, Mongrel will meet with various artists, designers, students and citizens, examining the role of new media in shaping social processes. Through workshops, meetings, presentations and research, they will investigate how digital media can be used to enrich social relations and participation in community collaborations.
