| Art in the field of tension between reality and fantasy
Gil & Moti are a team of artists who have lived and worked together since 1994. Their decision to regard life as a perpetual performance, and art as a life form, influences all areas of their oeuvre: painting, drawing, installation, video, and photography. Using their art, they appropriate public space and investigate its influence on interpersonal relationships. In analyzing the relationships between private and public life, they refer to current debates on otherness and the rules of coexistence, questioning our attitude toward national, religious, gender, and social identity in playful ways. Six of their most important projects from the last decade relate stories situated in the field of tension between reality and fantasy in images that range from the profane to highly artificial. Born Jewish Israelis, Gil & Moti now live in the Netherlands. Exhibition schedule: Kunsthallen Nikolaj, Copenhagen, February 11–April 24, 2011 | Bochum Art Museum, March 27–May 8, 2011 | Tensta Konsthall, Stockholm, May 28–August 20, 2011 | Stavanger Art Museum, September 8–November 13, 2011 | Lentos Art Museum, Linz, May 25–August 12, 2012
