CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo, a non-collecting institution fostering practices, discussions and reflections connected to the most relevant issues of our times, is hosting Rhythms of Permanent Resonance, a solo exhibition by Liora Kaplan (born 1974, Herzliya; lives and works in Tel Aviv-Yafo), running until 19 March 2022. Her sculptural work of explores the relationship between contemporary pop culture, shamanism, and primitivism. Through a collection of objects belonging to different cultures and traditions and created in disparate places, the artist ‘mines’ what is symbolic. In other words, her work materialises the possibility of imbuing symbols with personal meaning and underlines the role of time and space as key conditions for such a process to happen. In her solo exhibition at the CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo, Kaplan displays a series of eight totemic sculptures comprised of both 20th Century found objects and original elements, crafted by the artist in collaboration with artisans.
