"During the day, the houses hear the street" is a quote from the book "At the end of the road״ by Iris Argaman (Matar publishing house 2014)

Currators: Iris Argaman and Ruth Biger

Using illustrations and texts, we will wander around the familiar urban space, discover it and grasp its essence.

The exhibition began as a fence gallery surrounding Beit Ariela Library and now expands to a new and different narrative.

We will examine the city of Tel Aviv – its streets, neighborhoods, alleys, markets and courtyards through the eyes of illustrators and writers. Each one will present a unique interpretation of the city expressing a visual or verbal interpretation.

The exhibition reveals the different faces of the city as a surprising, unexpected and fascinating space.

״If I were not a person - I would want to be a street״ Alterman wrote. He was not the first to admire the charm of the streets – surprising, changing and varied – that gives countless points of view.

Georges Perec said that we do not know how to observe the city. Nothing amazes us anymore. We do not know how to observe. He believed that we must be dedicated to the exercise of freeing ourselves to pursue an in-depth observation. Perec suggested writing down what we see. Do we know how to see what is noteworthy? Is there still something that amazes us? Perec invites us to try and describe the street. He challenges us to decipher a piece of city.

Walter Benjamin Said that we should Walk the streets of the city leisurely – without a definite destination or purpose in mind and thus, expose the unconsciousness of the city. Is creativity a kind of vagrancy? Is it the one that allows choosing the road not taken?

The exhibition follows Perec and Benjamin. It deciphers pieces of the city.
