Held simultaneously with Post Human (curated by Jeffery Deitch) Antipathos offered an opportunity to distinguish the similarities and the differences between young Israeli contemporary art and European and American contemporary art.  The exhibition outlined different types of “anti-pathos” strategies, ranging from the ironic model characteristic of the modernist position to the various forms of parody, cynicism and pastiche. Whereas pathos contains all the possibilities of the absolute, of the linear rationale, of the sublime, of value judgement and of the grand narrative, anti-pathos reflected their collapse, implying a denial of any model and an indulgence in private passion, in unprejudiced multifariousness and in the production of affects. For the first time a new sound was heard in Israeli art – the post-modern voice of a terminal humor, devoid of any nostalgia and great dreams, indulging in perversion and sweet narcissism.
