ISCP Talk
September 26, 2023, 6–7pm

Artists at Work: Merav Kamel & Halil Balabin

For this Artists at Work, ISCP artist-duo-in-residence Merav Kamel and Halil Balabin will discuss their artistic practice and the new directions they have explored during their residency at ISCP. ISCP Director of Programs Alison Kuo will engage them in conversation, followed by a guided Q&A with the audience.

Merav Kamel & Halil Balabin are a Tel Aviv-based collaborative duo working together since 2012. They combine absurdity and humor with history, sexuality, and fantasy in two and three-dimensional works that on first encounter, often give a gentle, even cute impression. Yet upon closer viewing, narratives emerge that are more vulgar and darkly funny. Inside jokes and ironic anecdotes are used to critique everything from Israeli society to issues of gender inequality. Kamel & Balabin create sculptural dolls and large-scale drawing installations with materials such as fabric, wood, metal, and ceramic. They have exhibited work at Israel Museum, Jerusalem; Summlung Philara, Düsseldorf; and ZONAMACO Art Fair, Mexico City, among others.

This program is supported, in part, by Artis; Hartfield Foundation; Milton and Sally Avery Arts Foundation; New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council; Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso; New York City Council District 34; New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature; James Rosenquist Foundation; and William Talbott Hillman Foundation.
