As one enters the exhibit they are immediately surrounded by a visceral experience of floating through a field of wheat – the modern wheat that feeds the world. Superimposed throughout the experience are tens of varieties of ancient wheat.
This stark contrast – in size, shape & color – is immediately evident creating a connection and reflection to the past and raises the question – in our quest for efficiency have we lost local diversity and uniqueness?
Goren installation
The art piece was designed intentionally to change its form depending on the architectural space. The installation including several thousand meters of brass wire – allowing the wheat to appear as though it was floating up from the “threshing floor” (Goren in Hebrew).
In Jerusalem, Israel, the chandelier was hanged at the courtyard of the Hansen House and beautifully amplifies the historical building. Its ancient Jerusalem stone mirroring the color of the wheat and whose heaviness is in stark contrast to the wheat hanging effortlessly from the sky. Its distinct arches that give the courtyards its personality perfectly silhouetted by the wheat chandelier.
Goren installation
The second piece in the Goren series was installed in Tokyo and won the best exhibition award of the DesignArt Festival 2019 as a proud member of the JerusalemDesignWeek delegation.
The installation was indoors in the round-shaped Spiral Gallery and so the entire artwork was built in harmony with its environment.
Goren installation
Its form sparkled like a talisman of golden jewelry and morphed in the eyes of tens of thousands of visitors as they ascended the ramp inside the Spiral Arts Center.
Goren’s next upcoming show will be presented at Henan province-China, the biggest wheat-growing region in the world, around October 2020.
