Ayelet
Carmi
Ayelet Carmi (b. Israel) holds a BFA from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem. Carmi grew up in Emek Jezreel on a kibbutz, a collective community representative of Israel’s pioneering ethos, yet her work, which includes a range of techniques spanning painting, sculpture and installation, ventures to the realms of mythology, classical emblems, and the richness of flora and fauna. While informed by historical Western art traditions, her feminine figures are marked by a contemporary body language, as active agents in a utopian-like world confronting nature and culture, femininity and masculinity, Zionist myth and historical narrative.
Carmi has held solo exhibitions at the Ein Harod Museum, Haifa Museum, Petach Tikva Museum and other venues across Israel, and participated in group shows at the Tel Aviv Museum, Yanko Dada Museum, Wilfrid Israel Museum, Alexander Ochs Gallery Berlin, and more.
Since 2015, she has collaborated with video artist Meirav Heiman on ”The Israel Trail Procession,” an expansive, multi-participant video project which was showcased at the Petach Tikva Museum and at Villa Tamaris, France in 2018. Videos and installations in conjunction with the project have been shown, among others, at Brandeis University, the Haifa Museum, and at numerous screenings worldwide.
