*'Engagement AND Entrapment.'*



*(Smoke screens and Masquerade)*



*Curator: Diana Ali. *



*Binyamin Gallery, Tel Aviv, Israel.*

*www.binyamin-gallery.com* <http://www.binyamin-gallery.com>





*Concept: *



Engagement is a way of capturing attention, a way of alluring and a way of
enticing to possess ownership. We could implement this as a way of
attracting an audience, being drawn into a system and in turn be
captivated. Such methods can include smoke screens, masquerade and stings.



We can be engaged in political upheaval and in contrast engaged to be
married. Either way if one shows the willingness to engage then they are
seized, arrested and caught, through an innocent human desire to absorb and
be engrossed.



What is the ethical concern over this? Is the viewer guilty for being
engrossed in a piece of work that is deemed vulgar or inappropriate; a
guilty pleasure? Is the accused guilty until proven innocent? Is the artist
wrongly committed for a self-indulgent expression? Does this polarity repel
or assist the convicted?





*Who: *



Israeli based and international artists are invited to submit work which
explores a subversive engagement, use tactics and trickery to captivate and
which contests rules and laws of a system. Aesthetically, artists should
submit work which entices the audience, engages them in viewing and
ultimately entrap them into the work. Will the viewer be engrossed, cheated
or convicted?



Works submitted can include traditional art forms of photography, painting
and sculpture but also the contemporary processes of interventions,
installations and new media and video will be considered.
