“Stopping Time, Molding Mold”
A catalogue essay for Gal Weinstein: Sun Stand Still, Israeli Pavilion, la Biennale di Venezia, May 2017
Sun Stand Still is accompanied by a bilingual catalogue, designed by Magen Halutz, with my curatorial essay and four additional essays by Anne Ellegood, Senior Curator at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Sabine Schaschl, Director of Museum Haus Konstruktiv, Zurich; Ofra Eshel, Supervising Analyst at the Israel Psychoanalytic Society; Yair Zakovitch, Emeritus Father Takeji Otsuki Professor of Bible at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and two poems by Eli Eliahu, poet and journalist.
In my essay I explored the conceptual connections between the different parts of Sun Stand Still, while examining them in relation to Weinstein’s earlier works.
