Hansen | הנסן

Through exhibitions, installations, new projects and performances, the tenth edition of Jerusalem Design Week (its fifth as a broad international event) will examine the question of escapism – which seems more relevant than ever before. For some of us, it represents the perfect refuge from the past year, while for others it serves as an optimal metaphor in describing what happened and is still taking place all around us.
We are happy, excited and geared to return to work on this important project, which is completely escapist in nature, while still firmly rooted in the unsteady ground we stand on.

Some of the participants:
Hansen House will change its familiar appearance and turn into a circus via a central project envisioned and executed by Dana Ben Shalom, Amit Portman and Alon Sarid, and via a dark backstage project designed by Itamar Paloge. The Clown X team will combine between design and circusry, breathing fresh life into Hansen House throughout Design Week.

The Matchmaker project, spearheaded by Daniel Nachmias, will match between designers and artisans from the food industry in Jerusalem. Some 20 artists will take part in the Freakshow, our main exhibition (among whom are Daniella Meroz, Kobi Franco and Michael Golan, Amalia Magril and Daniel Garber, Hila Shapira, Ofir Hilleli, Tal Mor Sinai, Netaly Aylon, Sally Krysztal, Naama Agassi, Roni Landa, Roni Azgad, Abir Sultan, Shadi Magdelton, Shaul Cohen and others). London-based studio Space Popular will create a new installation of virtual spaces, Erez Nevi Pana will grow a zoo, and much more…
