Two days ago, on the evening before the weekend, after a long workday, I visited three Art exhibitions, which took place in the same location, in galleries, located very close to each other.
This area has been known as a very dangerous place to walk, especially in the evening and night. Homeless, prostitutes, drug dealers - everything was compressed and coordinated in an area of half a square kilometer. But as time goes on - these things are also changing over time. Due to the low-cost leasing offices and studies in these buildings, many artists of very different types of activities moved there and the area started changing. These days now it has become one of the centers of the night culture of Tel Aviv - restaurants, open Art studies workshops, and numerous galleries - all these attracted Avant-garde Art lovers. All the accessories of the massive gentrification, as happened before in the Florentine area, in the old Jaffa, and other districts.
As for me, I love to visit this area and to find here many details of past reality - all these are still here, just a little bit cleaned, covered with endless graffiti and now filled by guided tours. I’m happy to add that the pungent smell of urine has disappeared.
This time all the exhibitions were not interesting (in my opinion). I went to a small circle for photography and decided to leave.
Here is the perspective on one of the parallel streets of the location of my visit.
One of the guided tours.
Always attractive geometries of the old type of buildings
Some of the homeless are still here.
Old style windows of the stairwells.
And the other side of the street.
I connected here the two-dimensional and three-dimensional space.
And finally the frame from one of the exhibitions. As I said, I'm not connected emotionally to the ideas. I hope, that next time the visit will be more interesting (for me).
Printable Art of many of my works is available in my Redbubble Store :
