Sigalit Landau

At her core Landau is a sculptress; her work keeps a vibrant continuity between the formative living act of creating, and the final restive product created. She is best known for her epic multimedia installations which explore the complexities of living in a divided, traumatic geographical reality, arguably one of the most conflict ridden, volatile points on earth.

Landau’s work is of a bridge maker. [Un]consciously looking for new and vital materials to connect the past to the future; the west to the east; the private with the collective; the sub-existential to the Uber-profound; the found objects to the deepest epic narratives and mythologies.

Sigalit Landau (b.1969 in Jerusalem), lives and works in Tel Aviv) is on of the most prominent artists working in Israel for the past two decades. She participated in numerous major exhibitions, representing Israel twice at the Venice Biennale (1997, 2011) and on her own in Documenta X (1997). Her NY debut was at the Thread Waxing Space (2001) followed in a MoMA project (2008). Landau had important one person exhibitions in other leading venues, among them are the Tel Aviv Museum of Art (2005) and the Berlin KW (2007). Lately, The Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona featured a semi retrospective of her work (2015), and a comprehensive survey of her video work was presented at the 2016 Wiener Festwochen at the Kunstlehaus in Vienna. Her works are part of prominent collections, both institutional and private, including the MoMA, the Centre Pompidou, Stockholm’s Magazine 3, the NY Jewish Museum, the Israel Museum, the Tel Aviv Museum of art, the Rubell Family Collection (Miami), the Jose Mugrabi Collection (NY), the Igal Ahouvi Collection (TLV), and the Tiroche DeLeon Collection (Gibraltar).
