An Ocean Within An Ocean

Hadassa Goldvicht (b. 1981, Jerusalem) is a multidisciplinary artist and lecturer whose work engages with language, the body, and mechanisms of pain and healing. Her practice includes projects in public space created in collaboration with dozens and sometimes hundreds of public-sector workers and community members in Israel and abroad, alongside works involving her own family in the domestic sphere, exploring the relationships between motherhood, language, myth, and creation.

She has presented solo exhibitions in Israel and internationally, including at the Israel Museum, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the Querini Stampalia Foundation in Venice, the National Library of Israel, and the Beijing Biennale.

Goldvicht studied at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design and holds a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design (2004) and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts (2007). She is a graduate of the Mandel Institute’s Cultural Leadership Program and has received numerous awards and grants for her work in Israel and abroad.

Her works are held in museums and private collections, including the Israel Museum, the Jewish Museum in New York, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the ANU – Museum of the Jewish People, the Jewish Museum Frankfurt, the Querini Stampalia Foundation in Venice, the Center for Book Arts in New York, and others.
