The exhibit \u201cSelected works from the Centre Pompidou New Media Collection\u201d will open at the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art, as part of Videozone 5<\/strong><\/em>, the 5th International Video Art Biennial in Israel.\u00a0 On opening night, November 27, 2010, visual artist Majida Khattari will present a performance in collaboration with students from Shenkar College of Engineering and design.

Khattari creates sculptural clothing designs that are a reflection on the situation of Muslim women in society, often presenting these works as performance art in the format of a fashion show. Born in 1966 in Morocco, Khattari graduated from the \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1995, and resides there. Her work has been exhibited internationally, and she has staged performances in at the \u00c9cole nationale sup\u00e9rieure des Beaux-Arts, the gallery Thaddeus Ropac, the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de la maison des cultures du monde and the Centre Georges Pompidou. In an article on Fance 24 <\/a>following one of her performances relating to the current debate over the burqa in France, Khattari was quoted as saying, \u201c”I find that every time there is a crisis, the female body comes under fire, and I can\u2019t help wondering about this phenomenon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Curated by Christine Van Assche, Chief Curator of the New Media Collection of the Centre Pompidou, and Gila Limon, curator of the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art, the exhibit includes works by leading video artists such as Bill Viola (b. 1951 USA), Bruce Nauman (b. 1941 USA) and Jordi Colomer (b. 1962 Spain). The first part of the exhibit focuses on those pioneers of this relatively new art form in their conflicted relationship with television. Originating in the same technology, it arouses both the interest and criticism of the video artists, and several of the works featured address television and its impact on society.
\nThe second part of the exhibit includes more contemporary works that relate to social, cultural and economic issues. Many of the artists explore the effect of changing demographics on culture, changes within the family structure and the impact of intercultural exchange on society. Immigration, legal and illegal, and its consequences – the linguistic and cultural barriers confronted by immigrants, are explored in these works.<\/p>\n
