H: Gil Yefman: Volume 3 (The Container: Catalogues) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

A fully bilingual (Japanese / English) catalogue for an exhibition of Gil Yefman, entitled "H," at The Container in Tokyo (www.the-container.com) The catalogue explores through writings and images the relation between sexuality and WWII and focuses on Block 24, an isolated unit in the concentration camp of Auschwitz that was used as a brothel, forcing female workers into sex-slavery. Gil Yefman is an Israeli artist exploring gender, sexuality, religion and the collective Jewish memory through a wide range of disciplines. His main medium of work is knitting, which he uses to produce complex, colourful, and child-like sculptures. His works are amusing and fun-like, while secreting potent and unforgiving themes. He has exhibited extensively in Israel and abroad. "H" is his debut exhibition in Japan. The Container, as the name suggests, is no more than a constructed shipping container (485x180x177cm), inside Bross hair salon in trendy Nakameguro, Tokyo. The Container, the brainchild of Tokyo-based curator Shai Ohayon, invites Japanese and international artists to make site-specific installations four times a year. Each installation remains on view to the public for two-and-a-half months.
