Mobile Archive
One of the main principles of the Mobile Archive is its accessibility and openness to the public at large: the archive is presented in a video library format, where each visitor will be able to choose freely from hundreds of existing video works, and view the selected pieces. Thus, the Mobile Archive raises the issue of the active role of the audience as well as touches upon the important question of storing and passing knowledge in the society today, including the mission of archives in these processes.
Even though Israeli artists working with video are widely known throughout the world, so far they haven’t had a massive exposure in Russia. The Mobile Archive will have three stations in Russia: St Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Nizhniy Novgorod and will offer the Russian audience a unique opportunity to browse through one of the world’s top collections of Israeli video art and see works by such internationally acclaimed Israeli artists as Sigalit Landau, Yael Bartana, Roee Rosen, Guy Ben Ner and many others.
