Daniel Wagener
Daniel Wagener’s photography involves graphic design, staging and urbanism. He focuses on objects and urban landscapes that are both familiar and transgressive to him. He documents traces accidentally left behind by people, and the absurd normality everyday life staging. In their saturated primary colors, Wagener’s photographs portray commonplace scenes that propose new approaches to reality.
Daniel Wagener has exhibited work at Cercle Cité, Luxembourg; Brussels Gallery Weekend, Belgium; and Les Rencontres d’Arles, France, among others.

Lihi Turjeman
Lihi Turjeman creates large-scale monochromatic painting installations that explore the multiple meanings of space. Her works emphasize the duality of a wholistic approach and attention to details, achieved by ‘mapping’ and scratching surfaces. Turjeman’s practice lies between figuration, abstraction, and action painting.
Lihi Turjeman has exhibited work at Tel Aviv Museum of Art; CCA Tel Aviv; and Petach Tikva Museum of Art, among others.
