Curator: Yuval Etzioni
December 14, 2024

This exhibition is centered on printed fabrics designed by Siona Shimshi (1939–2018, Israel), a multidisciplinary artist known primarily for her work as a ceramic sculptor, curator, and writer. Besides the fabrics that she designed between 1963 and 1984, the exhibition also presents archival materials such as sketches, drawings, and ceramic items that provide a visual glimpse into Shimshi’s unique artistic language.
