every week I publish details about recommended new shows and art events taking place in Tel Aviv.
Below you’ll find this week’s list.
Thursday, January 8th
Event: ArtPort Art Book Fair
Artport Tel Aviv is excited to present our first Art Book Fair – a weekend in which over 70 artists will display and sell over 120 unique artist’s books, and allow a glimpse into printed projects that did not make their way to the regular book stores.
Alongside books published independently – whether in print houses or using home photocopiers, catalogues of solo exhibitions or art projects that only live in print – the Art Book Fair will also feature one-off items like sketchbooks and books published as numbered limited editions.
Venue: Artport TLV

Conference: Dalut Hacherem
The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement is gaining momentum and with it the cultural boycott of Israel. What does this mean for cultural producers in Israel who believe in freedom of speech, but also in non-violent anti-occupation initiatives? A group of contemporary art curators has band together independently to organize a conference on the cultural boycott of Israel and its implications on contemporary art here.
The event will be held in Hebrew and is free and open to the public, but prior registration is required. To RSVP please email daluthacherem@gmail.com you can also listen to it online.
