Rings of Saturn
10 Sep - 24 Oct 2009
Dvir Gallery is happy to announce the opening of its new space in 11 Nitzana Street, Jaffa, with the group exhibition:
Rings of Saturn
Participating artists are Nelly Agassi, Barak Ravitz, Hillel Roman, Karen Russo and Yanai Toister who will exhibit new works. The exhibition pays tribute to W.G. Sebald’s book Rings of Saturn, recently published in Hebrew.
In August 1992, W.G. Sebald set off on a walking tour of Suffolk, one of England's least populated and most striking counties. Initially, his tour was a carefree one. Soon, however, Sebald was to happen upon a series of encounters – "traces of destruction, reaching far back into the past".
Rings of Saturn is his record of these travels, a phantasmagoria of fragments and memories, fraught with dizzying knowledge and desperation and shadowed by mortality. Past and present intermingle as the living come to seem like supernatural apparitions while the dead are vividly present.
