The exhibit, running from December 24 to 29, invites visitors to explore artworks integrated with the building's raw, industrial architecture, highlighting the tower's historical significance as Israel's first skyscraper.
Curated by Ariel Kotzer and Sivan Sebbag Zelensky, the show features 21 works by 20 artists, each interpreting the concept of 'structure' through installations, sculptures, and video art. The pieces interact with the open, wall-free spaces of the first three floors, creating a dialogue between art and architecture.
Some works reflect the trauma and anxieties experienced in Israeli society since October 7, while others offer playful or thought-provoking perspectives. The exhibit is free to the public with registration, and organizers hope to extend its run due to strong interest. The event underscores the potential of underused urban spaces to foster cultural engagement in Tel Aviv.
