As part of the project "Sixty Years of Art in Israel", six major Israeli museums are each presenting artwork from one of the decades of the nation’s history. The Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art will stage an exhibition which will focus on the young art of the 1990s.

 

Entitled: Eventualy We'll Die: Young Art in Israel of The Nineties, the exhibition presents works from the 1990s by leading Israeli artists such as Arnon Ben-David, Michael Sgan-Cohen, Nir Hod, Hila Lulu Lin, Sigalit Landau, Miriam Cabessa and Guy Bar Amotz.


The 1990s in
Israel were characterized by a cultural boom, fueled by the euphoria over the Oslo Accords and the dream of a New Middle East, and by an opening to and cultural simultaneity with the world at large.

The 1990s were also the decade in which Israeli art most distinctively assimilated the postmodern discourse, in the form of extensive preoccupation with the politics of identity, feminism, Mizrahi identity and Orientalism.
