For example, if you want to wear the latest fashion AND show your solidarity with the Palestinian resistance movement, there's a cute little boutique in Tel Aviv where you can throw your shekels at this.
Also, at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art there's a super show of Michal Rovner's right now. Totally worth the 40 NIS admission, and if you're in your IDF uniform, you get in FREE. Unfortunately, I think these two ladies had to pay full price, or maybe they got the senior discount. In any case, in protest of their admission policy I'm posting this photograph since the guards yelled at me immediately after I took it, turns out no photographing in the museum allowed. Probably something to do with the Defense Ministry across the street but I can't be sure.
Usually, I'm not a fan of photographs of signs, but I couldn't pass this one up.
Saw a show at the Petach Tikva Museum of Art Artists included Dror Daum, Yael Feldman, Anan Tzuckerman, Aya Ben Ron, Eli Gur Arie, Zoya Cherkassy, Gaia Tchetchik and Danny Levine. Without going into detail, I'll say that I wasn't impressed. Lots of old ideas in the form of shiny new lamda prints, LCD screens, and generally artsy techy. But afterwards, we stopped at a cafe for a snack and this painting really got me. I'm a terrible person and artist for not taking note of the name of this artist, but it wasn't posted. Next time I'm there I'll get the name and add an ammendum. If this is yours, let me know. I love it!
And if you've finished reading this post and are thinking, "Those Tel Avivis really have it easy over there, with their art galleries and fancy keffiyehs and their cautionary signs," you should know that it's not all roses in Israel proper, take a drive up north to Ramat Hanadiv (near Zichron Yacov). There are a couplea rules there too.
