On Saturday, February 3, 2023, the group exhibition AIR 1 will open at the Givat Haviva Art Gallery. The exhibition presents works by ten young artists who are currently staying in the Givat Haviva AIR joint residency program, led by the Shared Art Center. For three months, including these very days, they live in Givat Haviva and share a common studio space, as they are getting to know the place, the area, the environment and the people. 

The works in the exhibition are completely individual, but at the same time they share a common vision of the current reality and the existential complexity it encompasses. Such a joint exhibition, perhaps especially these days, can act as a kind of mediator for that complexity of life, as it shares the personal questions that preoccupy the artists. These are questions about togetherness, difference, belonging, uniqueness and meaning; as well as pain, and, of course, about identity. 

 Perhaps it can provoke a critical observation on the current discourse in the world; about the multitude of realities that exist today simultaneously and sometimes separately; and the possibilities, if they exist, for an honest encounter between them, where it is possible to maintain both the most individual identity and uniqueness and also to act and be together.

The overall experience raises questions about the cultural and human content that our world is invested in (and about those it ignores) and examines the path of shared existence as an existential condition - a unique necessity in these times of social and political crisis.
