Hi there. Couple of days ago I had a day off my work so that I took my time and visited Tel Aviv museum of arts. It turned out that I came towards the end of the day and also the museum was in the process of changing exhibitions. Yet, one of the exhibitions on display was "The Poetics of Space" by Raanan Levy. If you wish, you could look him up here: http://www.tamuseum.com/index.html. Please click on "English" on the front page and then choose "Exhibitions" from the icon menu on top.
So I started with these paintings of empty spaces and then went on roaming the empty spaces of the museum. Very unusual feeling, I should tell you... It is a great pity photography is not allowed inside, 'cause it would make a fine set of almost-abstracts ;-). Then, eventually I got down to the museum shop to browse through the photography shelf. There I've found some albums by photographers that I might have wanted to have, such as HCB. And then it finally occurred to me that I don't want to buy a photo book by HCB or any other well known artist. Somehow I realized I'd rather see something in person on the wall and carry the emotions with me. I don't want to have these emotions with me all the time available at my whim. That would feel fake... So, I left the museum store and was on my way home... Just a bit of musings I'd put down in words, if you don't mind reading them.
