Abstract
Nira Pereg presented a new multichannel video in “Rose Video 07 | Nira Pereg,” a program focusing on new video art from Israel, developed by The Rose Art Museum in partnership with the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. A team of four curators, two from The Rose Art Museum and two curators from the Israel Museum, worked together to create a conceptual framework for the exhibitions, select artists and video works, and to create a publication which accompanied the each exhibition in the series. Anchored in documentary practice, Pereg’s films and installations expose overlooked aspects of religious histories, sites and liturgies, recording invisible boundaries, real and ephemeral transformations, and mundane rituals that activate shared and contested spaces venerated by Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
