“Form 404”: bureaucracy as fear therapy, performance by Theodor Ivanov Theodor Ivanov, created during a collaborative art lab by Neve Schechter and KakdelArt.
Curators: Dina Yakerson Bar Yerushalmi

Theodor Ivanov’s new work from the “Machine of Interrupted Dreams” cycle imitates an insurance office with the full seriousness of a real institution: a queue, a form, a clerk, a stamp, a certificate sent by email. Only what’s insured here isn’t property, but existence itself: anxiety, sleep, memory, tomorrow.
Ivanov stages bureaucracy’s main trick: turning the unbearable into something fillable. The form asks what usually isn’t asked out loud: anxiety level, number of conflicts lived through. The premium can be paid in personal data, and most people pick that option without reading.
The formal choice reinforces the content: instead of a dark aesthetic, a warm, Mediterranean palette. The horror isn’t illustrated but disguised as comfort, exactly the way bureaucracy itself operates.
The happening works because it doesn’t wink at the viewer. It functions.

“Safeness”, video art by Irina Korotaeva, created during a collaborative art lab by Neve Schechter and KakdelArt.
Curators: Dina Yakerson Bar Yerushalmi

A video tracing the word «safeness» in several languages, formed out of ice and slowly melting in water. The term echoes political slogans of security and protection – false promises typical of populist discourse in Russia and Israel – while at the same time pointing to a personal sense of security that is increasingly destabilized. The process of melting signifies a violation of the existing order, a sense of disintegration and ungroundedness. It also echoes the water motif that has accompanied the residency program’s participants through the flood myth connected to the experience of immigration.

This year, as tradition goes, we are once again preparing Novigod celebration – even two!

One of them will take the form of “Utrennik”, morning celebration oriented toward children and families.
The second will be a large city event on a central street in Tel Aviv.

We are looking for artists who would like to lead a workshop, create an interactive installation, or present a performance on the topic of “Novigod in Tel Aviv” - how traditional holiday activities and rituals transform with emigration to the hot israeli climate ❄️☀️

We would be happy to receive your ideas to our mail [email protected]

Мы ищем художников, которые хотели бы провести мастер-класс, создать интерактивную инсталляцию или представить перформанс на тему “Новый год в Тель-Авиве” - как трансформируются традиционные праздничные мероприятия и ритуалы с эмиграцией в жаркий израильский климат ☺️☺️

Мы будем рады получить ваши идеи на нашу почту [email protected]

“Tel Aviv: the books of admirations and complaints” by Oleg Yakovlev was presented as part of the “Who Cares” exhibition at Manifest Festival at Teder.

The interactive map became a portrait of Tel Aviv as it is actually experienced by its residents: not as a postcard image, but as a city people enjoy, question, and sometimes argue with every day.

Visitors were invited to mark places on the map using green stickers for locations they love and red stickers for places that make them angry. They could then add their thoughts to one of two accompanying books: in the green book, writing what attracts them to a favorite place, and in the red one, leaving a complaint about a location that frustrates or annoys them.

Over the course of the event, more than 100 people interacted with the work and left their marks on the map. Gradually, the installation filled with personal opinions and experiences, creating a collective image of the city through many individual points of view.

Following the event, the work will be passed on to the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality for further study.

Oleg Yakovlev is a multidisciplinary visual artist, documentary filmmaker, photographer, and urban researcher currently based in Tel Aviv. His creative practice explores identity, home, language, and memory. With a diverse background in visual arts, psychology, and film production, Oleg’s work integrates these fields to address human experiences and narratives through both traditional and innovative mediums.

“Who Cares” was an art lab and exhibition initiated by the Young Adults Unit of the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality, Tzedek Centers, and KakdelArt as part of Democracy Month.

“Rear Window” by Magdalena Gendelman was presented as part of the “Who Cares” exhibition at Manifest Festival at Teder.

Inspired by Hitchcock’s "Rear Window", the installation offered a glimpse into the private lives of others through dozens of small zines created by anonymous participants around the subject of choice in everyday life.

The work blurred the boundary between public and private, creating an intimate encounter with experiences that were deeply personal and, at the same time, widely recognizable. Visitors could browse through the zines and discover how other people deal with uncertainty, decision-making, hesitation, and the everyday situations in which we are required to choose.

They were also invited to create a small zine of their own in response to the question: "How do you deal with choice?" Each new contribution became part of the installation, gradually expanding the archive and adding another personal perspective to the collective collection.

The work created a space for indirect dialogue between strangers. Without meeting one another, participants could compare their own strategies and uncertainties with those of others, notice similarities and differences, and encounter private reflections that would usually remain unseen.

Magdalena Gendelman is a multidisciplinary artist studying psychology, different ways of self-reflection, and human experiences. She is currently moderating art-therapies and explores creativity through working with unexpected and everyday materials, mainly focusing on recycling and handmade processes.

“One Piece at a Time” by Lucas Sylos was presented as part of the "Who Cares" exhibition at Manifest Festival at Teder.

The participatory artwork explored how people relate to one another through abstract form and how a collective image can emerge from many individual decisions.

The work began as an unfinished composition. Throughout the event, visitors were invited to add their own pieces to it, placing and attaching new elements onto what had already been created by others. Each gesture responded to the previous ones and, at the same time, changed the direction of the work for everyone who came next.

No single participant could define the final image, yet every contribution remained visible within it. Over the course of the evening, the artwork gradually transformed into a collective composition shaped by many different choices, gestures, and perspectives.

Lucas Sylos is a Brazilian-born abstract visual artist based in Tel Aviv, working primarily in black ink on paper and canvas. His background in tattooing and fashion design shapes his attention to precision and mark-making. Drawing for more than two decades, he has developed a consistent visual language centered on displacement, memory, adaptation, and the marks that remain.

Who Cares ~ תערוכת הגמר של מעבדת האמנות של “מה זה משנה”

העבודות יהיו פזורות ברחבי בית רומנו, בואו למצוא אותן ולהשתתף
