‘We need to rethink’: new exhibition revisits an Israeli conceptual art project, 53 years on

A new exhibition at the Givat Haviva Art Gallery in northern Israel revisits a landmark 1972 conceptual art project called Metzer-Meiser, which took place along the seamline between Kibbutz Metzer and the Arab village Meiser. The original project involved four Israeli artists—Dov Or-Ner, Moshe Gershuni, Avital Geva, and Micha Ullman—who created actions exploring Jewish-Arab coexistence, including burying personal items, parcelling land, scattering books, and exchanging soil between the two communities. The contemporary exhibition, "Metzer-Meiser: Take 2," co-curated by Anat Lidror and Tali Tamir, includes two of the original artists (Geva and Ullman) alongside ten contemporary Jewish and Palestinian artists, responding to the original project's themes of connection, fear, and trust.
