After months of planning and weeks of labor, Hagigit’s latest art work will finally be revealed at the 13th annual Bat Yam International Street Theater Festival. Although the heads-up I published two months ago did not reveal much detail about the work, but I hope it generated enough interest for people to visit the festival.
If you plan on visiting, make sure you check out the program here. After you return home, you might want to check out our Facebook page for photos and videos of the event.

What: Bat Yam Street Theater Festival
Where: Boardwalk, Bat Yam, Israel
When: Tuesday to Thursday, 19:00-23:00
Who: Hagigit artist collective
Why: Because you cannot experience installation art from home
How much: Admission is free

Hagigit, the artists’ collective I co-founded will take part in the 13th annual Bat Yam International Street Theater Festival this coming August. We were honored to have been asked to participate, as this will be our biggest, most expensive project to date, and based on previous years we will probably see our biggest crowd ever.
I will try to reveal as much details as possible before the event, but it is a bit of a struggle as there are many people involved and not everyone shares my notion of transparency. The graphics to the right is our teaser poster that will appear in the festival program, and following is the English text that will accompany it:

Look!
 
Time is fluid, reality debatable
our point of view is not where we think it is
everything we see has changed its shape
in the gap between one moment and the next
exists an opportunity to listen, to smell,
to see and to express.
 
Hagigit’s interactive installation invites the public, yourself included, to take the whole from its parts, the revealed from the concealed, and yourself away from anyone else.
 
Location: Sela Beach parking lot, Bat Yam, Israel
Dates: August 25-27, 2009
Duration: continuously between 19:00-23:00
