Gallery Talk with Gabriela Wilenz
Gabriela Wilenz holds a master’s degree in the humanities and arts from the University of California, Berkeley (2019), and a bachelor’s degree from the Mark Rich Honors Program in the Humanities and Arts at Tel Aviv University (2015).
She has exhibited in galleries and museums in Israel and abroad, including the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, Berkeley; the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life, Berkeley; Heaven Gallery, Chicago; Root Division, San Francisco; Wilfrid Israel Museum; Ramat Gan Museum; Bar-David Museum; the Israeli Art Gallery at the Tivon Memorial Center; Givat Haviva Gallery; Nozh'a Gallery; and the Jewish-Arab Cooperative Gallery at Kibbutz Kabri.
Wilenz has participated in artist residencies at Lincoln Center Theater, New York; Ox-Bow School of Art, Michigan; Shimi Atelier, Kibbutz Kabri; and Vermont Studio Center. She has received grants and awards from various institutions, including Asylum Arts, Mifal HaPais, and the Plums Award.
Her work is driven by research and action, combining photography, video, and installation. She examines how identities are constructed, performed, and voiced in contexts of nationalism, militarism, and conflict. With a background in theater and performance, she uses direction, props, and scripted scenes to create subversive and absurd situations that require viewers to navigate between layers of information and reconsider their basic assumptions.
Admission to the talk is included in the entrance fee. Advance registration required.
