Meeting Place
2019
An encounter between art, fiction and poetry from Israel
Meeting Place is a physical emblem of art and literature. The multi-disciplinary artist Anat Propper Goldenberg approached five female writers and five male writers whose writing was close to her heart and invited them to her studio in Tel Aviv to pick one of her artworks, from which they embarked on their own literary journey, producing ten new stories and poems.
The outcome is a beautiful object of desire, which has been created in Israel, a hardcover book, embossed on both sides. Also featuring gilded margins as in holy books, textual works in Hebrew and English on fine paper and paper cutouts as gates.
A contemporary local culture capsule, connection with the local creative community, a reflection on this time and place in design, graphics, poetry, prose and art.
The book comes with a matching canvas bag designed by the author.
