Eyal Weiser\u2019s \u201cHow’s the Beast?\u201d
\nfeatures three new fictional artists \u2013 a Polish choreographer, a German-Israeli
\nartist, and an Israeli performance artist. Working against the backdrop of
\nOperation Protective Edge, the artists each create an artwork in response to an
\narticle published in the summer of 2014 in a German newspaper, which expressed
\nconcerns regarding Israel\u2019s policy in Gaza.<\/p>\n
\n
Combining dance, video, and performance art and making use of a
\nrange of artistic tools and a special performative syntax, the three artists
\nexamine the normalization of relations among their countries, as well as the
\nevolution of collective narratives following the Second World War. The
\nGerman-Israeli video artist Uriah Rhein-Merchav\u2019s work is concerned with the
\nco-dependent relations created between victim and perpetrator; the Polish
\nchoreographer Agnieszka Tz’zak creates a confessional performance that explores
\nhow Polish and Israeli societies come to terms with feelings of guilt; and the
\nradical performance artist Liora Alshech, the soloist of the band Liora and the
\nSchwarz Schwa\u0308nze, is concerned with the enchanting, mesmerizing, spectacular
\neffect of the war.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
