Art Guide
For each song in our playlist, we offer an example of contemporary Israeli visual art that connects with the themes and narrative of the lyrics. This adds another dimension to your exploration of each song while enriching your familiarity with Israeli art and culture.
Artwork: Shopping Carts
Artist: Itai Ron-Gilboa
Like Eti Ankri, artist Itai Ron-Gilboa uses his art to critically reflect on the social values that surround him.
In this work (wire sculpture and drawing), Itai explores the meanings and values behind very utilitarian shopping cart.
And Now You
- What are the contradictory uses and implications of an ordinary shopping cart?
- What statements do you think the artist is trying to make about Israeli culture?
- If you could fill your cart with non-material things, what would they be?
- If you could keep only those worldly possessions that could fit into a single cart, which items would you choose and why?
