We would like to thank everyone one who collaborated with us, especially the talented artists from Israel, Palestine, Iraq, Sweden, Germany, USA, England, Iceland, The Netherlands, Russia, Switzerland, Mexico, Argentina, France, India, Japan, China, Lithuania, Poland, and Turkey.

WH on YouTube

WHcreation opened a channel on YouTube to promote a video-discussion on the issue of gender. Click on the link and watch the videos and add videos you feel are right for the discussion. These videos are NOT part of the exhibition.

This is a video still from the video I present in the exhibition: Becoming 2008

2010 | the year of DO IT OURSELVES

On the 1st of January 2010 I read in a respectful newspaper, a list of the HOT trends that will define the new decade. One of the HOT trends is a new movement of DO IT OURSELVES. It was written that this tendency is expressed by individuals volunteering to develop services and applications for public use, usually non-profit.

Although I already wrote about WHcreation in this blog, I would like to present it again in this context of the DO IT OURSELVES trend. I think these new initiatives in the art scene are worthy of appreciation, so here are some examples you can enjoy.

WHcreation is a non-profit international online art gallery, I created with my partner Limor Weisberg.

Exhibiting multimedia artistic discussion by artists and designers from around the world. Including: painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, video art, performance, installation, design, architecture, commix, illustration, animation, graphic art, and sound.

Each subject is presented as a WH question in a call for entries sent by email.

The first exhibition “WHat is authentic?” Is now available at: http://www.whcreation.org/

PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of "chit chat", it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It's a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.

WHcreation | an online gallery

WHcreation gallery is a collaboration between ME and my partner Limor Weisberg. We both designed the website and curated the exhibition. It started as a small dream of creating a free online platform for artists and designers from anywhere in the world, a space for a multimedia artistic discussion, originating from different cultural backgrounds. It is now a gallery we are very proud of, we are overwhelmed by the enthusiastic reactions of artists and galleries.

WHcreation is an online non-profit contemporary art gallery. Exhibiting painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, video art, performance, installation, design, architecture, commix, illustration, animation, graphic art, and sound.
