Description

This is one of the few galleries in Jerusalem with its finger on the pulse of Palestinian contemporary art. Founded in 1992 by artist Jack Persekian, the shop-converted space holds mainly solo shows by Palestinian and international artists. Artists who have been lucky enough to exhibit in this intimate little space have included Mona Hatoum who made an installation on the gallery floor with soap and glass beads, as well as others such as Jean-Marc Bustamante. Group shows in the past have involved Palestinian and Israeli artists, with exhibits occasionally touching on the political issues surrounding the city and both nations. Set in a quiet and interesting location in the Christian Quarter of the Old City, the frequent exhibitions held here are not to be missed by culture lovers.
