A Momentary Lapse of Reason<\/em> \u2013 an exhibition of photographs by Maya Hed, curated by Udi Rosenwein, will be on exhibit at the Israeli Opera from November 13 \u2013 December 13, 2011. Previously exhibited at the Hava Rosenberg Gallery, the current location is a kind of home-coming for the photographs, as many were taken in the Tel Aviv Performing Arts Center, either onstage or behind the scenes.
\nIn this series Hed takes a look at extraordinary jazz artists from all over the world, during the sound check where the artists experience very intimate, secluded and unique moments. Hed seeks to express the music through her photographs, allowing the viewer to experience jazz through the musician\u2019s portraits. Unlike many photographers of jazz musicians, who work in black and white, Hed prefers to take primarily color photographs, in the belief that color reveals more of the emotions and the sense of the stage. The camera leads us behind the scenes with such luminaries as Stefano Bollani who overwhelmed Italian jazz culture, Tony Pancella who is a very important figure in Italian Jazz, and Nicola Stilo who played with one of jazz\u2019s greatest artists, the notorious Chet Baker and many more.<\/p>\n

The exhibition will be open Sun \u2013 Thurs: 8:30 \u2013 20:30; Fri: 8:30 \u2013 12:30 and during the Opera\u2019s night shows, that is when the lighting is best: November 13 \u2013 16, 22, 26; December 1 \u2013 10, 12. There will be a toast on Thursday, November 24th at 19:00; and a gallery talk on Tuesday, November 19th at 17:30.<\/p>\n
