About Legends of Heartbreak and Epiphany in Tel Aviv
By artist Gabriela Vainsencher, commissioned by Artis
"Every city I have been in exists in my head in two, superimposed maps: the first is a practical one of intersections, street names and subway stations; the other is a kind of a web, containing experiences, encounters and emotions which moved me in a way that made them, and where they happened, unforgettable.
Legends of Heartbreak and Epiphany in Tel Aviv consists of an original, limited edition map of Tel Aviv, a public performance (April 16, 7-9pm, at the Phaidon Store Soho) and an ongoing digital archive. Conceived in response to the official tourist guides of Tel Aviv, my symbolic mapping of the city will contain the private moments, experiences and histories that continually reinforce and shape our connections to this unique place.
I would like to open this project up to you. Please contribute your story or experience of Tel Aviv to the map, by posting it in the comment section here OR by emailing me at gabrielav(at)gmail(dot)com by April 4, 2012."
