www.ayeletcarmi.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ayelet Carmi lives and works in Herzliya, Israel, and holds a BFA from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. She is a recipient of the Minister’s Prize, awardred by the Israeli Ministry of Culture, and received an honorable mention in the Pais Culture Council’s project \u201cFirst Portrait.\u201d Carmi has held solo and joint exhibitions at the Museum of Art in Ein Harod, Haifa Museum of Art, Petach Tikva Museum of Art, the Jerusalem Artist’s Studios, and other distinguished art venues across Israel. She has also participated in many group exhibitions at leading art venues, including, the Tel Aviv Museum, the Museum of Israeli Art in Ramat Gan, the Yanko Dada Museum in Ein Hod, the Alexander Ochs Gallery in Berlin and more. Works by Carmi are held in public collections, among them of the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, and the Museum of Art in Ein Harod, as well as the Sabag Collection, the Ari Van Rosenblatt Collection, and other private collectors in Israel and abroad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Carmi grew up on a kibbutz, a collective community, in the Jezreel Valley. However, the ideology and aesthetics tied to Israel’s socialist, pioneering ethos is largely absent from her work, which escapes to realms of mythological figures, ornate colors, classical emblems and the splendor of plants and species. Spanning a range of techniques, from painting, sculpture, site specific installations and wall painting, Carmi’s work is informed by the historical and technological connotations of Western art across the centuries. However, while corresponding with classical art traditions, her work is populated by figures marked by a contemporary body language and rooted in the here and now, exploring themes of femininity, Zionist history and the male-oriented, art-historical figure of the artist. With works that are layered, witty and sensitive, she constructs a utopian world that harmonizes and confronts perceived contradictions such as nature and culture, femininity and masculinity, and reality and the imagination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since 2015, Carmi has also produced work jointly with video and multimedia artist Meirav Heiman, a collaboration that led to \u201dThe Israel Trail Procession,\u201d an extensive video project showcased at the Petach Tikva Museum of Art, Israel, and Villa Tamaris in the Var, France. Other collaborative work by the two was shown at the Kniznick Gallery, Brandeis University, Massachusetts, at the Neve Schechter Center, Tel Aviv, the Haifa Museum of Art, Israel, as well as numerous screenings in Israel and abroad. Their joint project has gained support from the Pais Council for Culture and Arts (Israel), Artis (NY), Asylum Arts (NY), and the Rabinovich Foundation for the Arts (Israel).<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n EDUCATION<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1990\u20131994 BFA, Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem<\/p>\n\n\n\n SOLO AND DUAL EXHIBITIONS<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2020 \u201cRetinopathy,\u201d the Brain Art Gallery, the Center for Brain Sciences, the Hebrew University, Jerusalem (curator: Michal Mor)<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2019 \u201cGarland,\u201d the Dwek Gallery, Jerusalem (curator: Raz Samira)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOne Foot Planted\u201d (with Meirav Heiman), Kniznick Gallery, Women’s Studies Research Center, Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts (curator: Susan Metrican;
