ISRAEL (via zoom)
Dr. Adina Kamien is Senior Curator of Modern Art at The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, and lecturer in modern art and curating at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design. She has curated numerous exhibitions and authored catalogues and articles on many topics including Dada, surrealism, Duchamp, Man Ray and Miro. Her book "Duchamp, Man Ray, and the Conundrum of the Replica" was published by Routledge. Exploring the readymade in contemporary art, her exhibition No Place Like Home focused on the transformed domestic object returned to a quasi-home within the museum. Kamien's subsequent exhibition at the Israel Museum, "Bodyscapes," focused on the relationship between the body and nature and on the use of the body to organize knowledge. Her current exhibit Lucid Dreams at the Israel Museum, speaks to the art of dreams, a creation of sleep.
