To say that Manofim<\/a> is the opening of the gallery season in Jerusalem would be like saying that Jerusalem itself is just another Mediterranean city. Initiated in 2008 by Jerusalem-based artists from The Artists\u2019 Studios, in collaboration with Jerusalem galleries, alternative art spaces and independent cultural centers, Manofim events extend well beyond a sedate walk through art galleries, into alternative venues and views of art. Many projects emerge from the city itself, engaging with the landscape \u2013 natural, urban, historic and human.<\/p>\n

Opening night will be October 27, 2011 with exhibitions opening in participating galleries from 19:00 \u2013 23:00. Free shuttle lines will operate between the different galleries based on regular bus stops \u2013 watch for the Manofim signs! Following opening night, each day of Manofim week will be dedicated to a different area in Jerusalem, with several exhibitions within walking distance in each region.

While you\u2019re enjoying Manofim, don\u2019t forget to VISIT NOMANSLAND<\/a>. 30 artists from different disciplines will collaborate to create artwork in the strip of land adjacent to the eastern section of the Old City walls in Jerusalem, a space that was declared no-man\u2019s land during the years 1949 \u2013 1967.

Another unique way to experience Jerusalem through art will be the \u201cSoundwalk.\u201d The idea is to take a walk in a particular space with a recorded guide played on one\u2019s mp3 player, smartphone or other device. Four sound artists have created “soundwalks”, each in a different area of Jerusalem. The artists and areas are: Lior Pinski \u2013 Jerusalem Center, Havazelet complex; Nadav Gerber \u2013 German Colony \u2013 Mishkenot Sha\u2019ananim; Yafit Reuveni \u2013 Nachlaot and Mahane Yehuda Market; Yafit Reuveni \u2013 Musrara; Yaniv Koris \u2013 Yaffo Gate \u2013 merchant stores in the Old City. Download the soundwalks files here: http:\/\/jerusalemsoundgallery.org.<\/p>\n

Manofim will inaugurate the first Mockumentary Film Festival<\/strong> in Israel. The festival will feature screenings, specialists’ lectures and an awards competition. For further details please consult the website: www.manofim.org.<\/p>\n

Manofim will also host the unique art project \u201cSouvenirs\u201d curated by Michael Ksus-Gdaliovitch. Artists from different places in Israel were invited to forage through the wares of antiques and mementos merchants in the Old City. Their finds will be on exhibit at the Tower of David Museum from October 27 \u2013 November 26, 2011. Entrance will be free on opening night and Tuesday, November 1st. Entrance to the Tower of David Museum will be at a reduced admission fee of 15 NIS throughout Manofim week. Museum opening hours: Sunday-Thursday 10:00-16:00, Friday \u2013 closed, holiday eve, holiday and Saturday 10:00-14:00.
