Adi Nes at Magnes
Conversations on Art

Sunday, June 15, 2008

Photographer Adi Nes is one of Israel’s most widely recognized artists, known for his provocative staged portraits and tableaux. Nes’s work focuses particularly on identity, on what it means to be a citizen of Israel, and how masculinity is defined within that context. He frequently works in series and draws on past works of art or historical scenes as backdrops for his images. His work is in the collections of the Israel Museum, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the Jewish Museum (New York), the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.

This lecture is presented in conjunction with with the exhibition @60.art.israel.world., on view February 19 - July 27, 2008.
