The exhibition ‘Framed Expanse’ engages with Orion’s ideas after his passing and contains an internal paradox – the attempt to return to a gallery space one who ventured out to create in the natural expanse. The curators focus on Orion’s theories and the sculpture-site-viewer relationship as it manifests in the artificial space. By using the works of art photographer Avraham Hai, who accompanied Orion in his work and captured the observer’s point of view, we can return to the spiritual experience of standing in front of the sculpture. Incorporating Orion’s principles in the exhibition design, including his approach to environmental installation, creates a new experience that is influenced by both the space and the works.

In addition to Orion’s works the exhibition includes sculptures created by other artists that he collaborated with and that were installed as part of two art events Orion organized. The artists: Micha Ulman, Dalya Meiri, Hava Mehutan, Noam Rabinowitz, Dov Heler and Itzu Rimmer.
The exhibition will also include ‘A Launchpad for The consciousness’, 2015, a short film by Ezry Keydar
