CURATORS: ROTEM ROZENTAL AND LEAH ABIR

Broken Cisterns is the first US solo show by Eliyahu Fatal (Eli Petel), one of the most significant artists working in Israel today. It reflects the artist’s incessant and complex interest in Jewish identity inside and outside of Israel, while exploring Judaism as a religion, an ethnicity, a culture, a nationality, an aesthetic, a doctrine, a language, and an ethical code. The works directly confront both spirituality and religion, as well as the social and personal questions that have to do with inclusion in a spiritual world.
