A Delicate Balance: Six Israeli Photographers This exhibition of photographs and photo-based images features work by Barry Frydlender, Judith Guetta, Gilad Ophir, Michal Rovner, Simcha Shirman, and Oded Yedaya. Collectively, their images are experimental, personal reflections on the complexities of Israeli culture and society. Much of the work confronts such diverse themes as the physical and psychological effects of war, the impact of unchecked economic development, and the still open wound of the Holocaust. A Delicate Balance is to be held in conjunction with a series of cultural programs organized by the Arts, Culture, and Education sub-committee of the Tennessee-Israel Cooperation Committee as a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the birth of the state of Israel. Organized by The Light Factory, Charlotte, North Carolina | |

 Karen Kittelson Shovel Shoes, 1996 Detail from installation of the same title Mixed media 12' x 15' x 20' |
Sub-Shredder: A New Work by Karen Kittelson Toying with a keen fascination with the world as a ridiculous mystery, Kittelson is drawn to theatrical presentations, awkward scale relationships, and altered materials, arriving at sculpture which she calls "absurdly humorous." Her work is a reflection of how she functions and dis-functions within the paradox which is her struggle between the universal and the particular, her relationship to the world around her. This exhibition showcases her most recent installation piece. Ms. Kittelson is currently on a one-year appointment as an assistant professor, Vanderbilt University.
