Work: petty politics
The third Tel Aviv Biennale of Crafts and Design takes its theme from Hesiod’s Works and Days, framing work in its broadest sense — not only labour and craftsmanship, but action, agency and ethical responsibility. More than 1,500 proposals were reviewed; the selected projects span ceramics, glass, textile, paper, fibre, metal and jewellery alongside architecture, industrial design, visual communication, video and performance. Around 200 works are shown across two floors of the Rothschild Center, with further projects placed throughout the museum’s permanent pavilions in dialogue with their collections.
The work
In petty politics Inbal Hoffman preserves the words and images of the years of war and the judicial overhaul, by turning the paper of a sketchbook into a material that fossilises rather than disappears.
