Anri Sala: No Names No Title

venue: Helena Rubinstein Pavilion for Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, 6 Tarsat Blvd

The Tel Aviv Museum of Art presents Anri Sala's first solo exhibition in Israel, bringing together works from the past decade and a new sculptural commission. Sala's practice ranges from drawings, sculptors, sound works to performances and live events. His works analyze political situations with sensitive and indirect observation, through personal and collective dimensions. The exhibition presents the new work Holey Wall (Should I Stay or Should I Go), 2014, as well as the video installation Ravel Ravel Unravel, 2013, based on Maurice Ravel's Piano Concerto for the Left Hand, composed for pianist Paul Wittgenstein, who lost his right arm during World War I. This installation represented France at the 55th Venice Biennale.

Sala's works have been exhibited in some of the world's most important museums, including the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Humlebaek, Denmark), Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), Serpentine Gallery (London) and the National Museum of Art (Osaka). Sala was awarded the Young Artist Prize at the 49th Venice Biennale, the 2011 Absolute Art Award, the 2000 Prix Gilles Dusein, and the 2014 Vincent Award.

The exhibition was made possible thanks to the generosity of The Friends of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in Israel; the Ostrovsky Family Fund; Institut Francais; Marian Goodman Gallery, New York; and Galerie Chantal Crousel, Paris.
