ерусалимская радуга «Сновидение – маленькая хорошо спрятанная дверь, которая ведет в ту изначальную космическую ночь, которой была душа еще до возникновения Сознания» Карл Густав Юнг Ставший ежегодным фестиваль «Кешет Йерушалмит» традиционно знакомит иерусалимцев и гостей города с творчеством художников-репатриантов. Каждый раз мы, кураторы фестиваля, находим темы выставок, которые волнуют художников и,разумеется, были бы интересны зрителям. В этом году темы трех выставок фестиваля обращены к вещам одновременно обыденным и загадочным: «Сон» и «Жизнь Дерева». Мы не ошиблись, дав только два названия – художников, готовых поделиться своими снами оказалось так много, что мы «растянули» тему сновидения на две выставки. Казалось бы привычное, многократно повторяющееся действие или явление должно превратиться в рутину, а многократно виденное перестать удивлять... Ну вот, к примеру, сон – каждый день мы идем спать, треть жизни проводим, погрузившись в сновидения, они остаются в нашей памяти и позволяют заглянуть в бездну непознанного. В ткани сна реальность наслаивается одна на другую, создавая удивительные картины, смешивая знакомые лица и пейзажи с вторгающимися в сон неземными ланшафтами и незнакомцами из других миров... Пожалуй, нет в мировой истории искусств художника, который бы хоть раз не обратился к теме сна. Вот и израильские художники, не упустили возможность заглянуь в зазор между мирами и попытатся увлечь своими видениями зрителя. А войти в эти фантастические картины, погрузиться в эту нереальную реальность помог зрителям первой выставки... Моти Шмит, который буквально сыграл каждую из работ... А что может быть привычнее дерева? Они, деревья, самая неизменная часть пейзажа, с ними мы вырастаем, измеряя по ним свой рост, видим их из окон наших домов, сажаем их и бережно ухаживаем, пока они не окрепнут. Но вот ведь и деревья не устают восхищить нас своим многообразием, внушать трепет заключенной в них силой и удивлять своей непознанностью. Ведь недаром дерево в самых разных культурах стало символом мироздания. Деревья в работах художников живут своей напряженной жизнью, каждое со своим характером, со своими тайнами и загадками. Увидеть в обыденном необычное и поделиться этим знанием с миром – это и есть задача художника... А наша, кураторов выставок, задача – дать возможность пройти этот путь соединения мира художника с миром зрителя. Марина Шелест

Jerusalem rainbow The by now annual festival «Keshet Yerushalmit» traditionally introduces Jerusalemites and guests of the city with the creations of repatriated Artists. Every time, we the curators of the festival, find new subjects for the exhibitions which excite the artists and, of course, would be interesting for the onlookers. This year the subject of the three festivals is addressed towards things both mundane and mysterious: «Dream» and «Life of a tree». We haven’t made a mistake by giving only two names - there «were so many artists willing to share with us their dreams that we» stretched» It would seem that the everyday, an act or occurrence repeated uncountable times would become routine, and a multiple times occurring vision would stop amaze… But here as an example sleep – every day we go to sleep, spend a third of our lives spend in dreamland, yet they remain in our memory and allow us a glimpse into the depths of the unknowable. In the fabric of the dream realities weave one into the other, creating surprising tapestries combining familiar faces and landscapes with invading unearthly landscapes and strangers out of other universes… Perhaps there is no artist in the world’s art history who wouldn’t approach the subject at least once. So here we have Israeli artists, who didn’t miss the opportunity to look into the gap between the worlds and try to whisk away the viewer with their visions. Moti Shmit was there to help the viewer enter this fantastical scene, to immerse themselves into this unreal reality, by literally playing every one of the paintings… What can be more familiar than the tree? They, the trees are the most unchanging part of the landscape, we grow with them, using them to measure our height. We view them through the windows of our houses, we plant and carefully grow them, until they have grown to be strong. But the tree as well won’t stop fascinating us with its diversity, to instil trepidation with the strength embedded in them, and surprise us with their myth. It’s not for nothing that the tree became the symbol of world creation in many countries across the world. Trees in the works of artists live their own tense lives, each with their character, with their secrets and puzzles. To see in the mundane the extraordinary and share its knowledge with the world - that is the role of the artist… And our, the curators, role is to give the opportunity to walk this path connecting the world of the artist with the world of the viewer.
