( OPUS 1 )
Naama Tsabar
2019
For more than a decade, installation and performance artist Naama Tsabar has been imploying everyday materials to form experiential and conceptually charged works of art that explore questions of power, sensuality, and memory. Through the appropriation and subversion of objects and iconic gestures from the realms of art and music—and their associations with masculinity, patriarchy, virility, and power—Tsabar upends the implicit gender roles and coded behaviors established by mainstream history and society.

Naama Tsabar’s (b. 1982) practice fuses elements from sculpture, music, performance, and architecture. Her interactive works expose hidden spaces and systems, reconceive gendered narratives, and shift the viewing experience to one of active participation. Tsabar’s work was presented in institutions internationally, among them the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York), MoMA PS1 (New York), The Bass Museum (Miami), SFMoMA (San Francisco), Tel Aviv Museum of Art (Tel Aviv), The Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art (Herzliya) and the Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart (Berlin).
