Israel Now

Israel Now ż Reinventing the future is a great multi-disciplinary catalogue, able to reflect the dynamism and vision of 24 Israeli artists engaged in a deep research on the manipulation of possible futures. Why reinventing the future? Reinventing the future means not only to evolve but to transform into something different, beyond the concept of the production of the new and the spectacular. The future is waiting only to be reinvented, be it through a new way of thinking in the social sphere, looking to new technologies or creating new forms. Thus the artistic practice can open up new windows on alternative worlds. Modern society must inevitably break free from the constraints of the new as the only form of progress and reinvent the future, to regain a real sense of it. Israel Now ż Reinventing The Future seeks to open multiple future scenarios, in order to offer a possible alternative conception of artistic production and fruition as well as of individual and collective identity. The project is structured around a selection of Israeli artists of different generations and experiences. The land of Israel is a concrete example of a nation looking at the future, because it draws nourishment from a multi-ethnic society, characterized by a deep and ancient spirituality and at the same time it is able to open up parallel scenarios, both real and imagined Israeli artists are immersed in an environment that has already developed a solid idea of the future.
