Disclaimer: Rovner's works are INCREDIBLE in person, but most are made for video format at not static photos, so this blog post doesn't even begin to do it justice.
An exhibition by Israli artist Michal Rovner which ran from May 4th – August 17th, 2018 at two Pace Gallery locations in Chelsea.
"The works reverberate an unfamiliar dimension, a sense of fear and alertness, primal powers and the night within us." - Pace Press Release
"That's what animals do all of the time; they watch out, they watch out, and I saw, "This is us now." Us, the world, we are watching out." - Michal Rovner for Interview Magazine
"Michal Rovner is known for her multimedia practice of drawing, printmaking, video, sculpture, and installation. Her work has and continues to define a new and evocative language of abstraction, broadly addressing themes of history, humanity and time." - Pace Press Release
Above is a video from Pace on Vimeo which gives you an idea of some of the incredible details of her work.
You can find her works in the collections of famous museums such as
Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago
and more..
2018 was a great year for Rovner. Not only did she have her 60th + solo show, she won the EMET Prize which is awarded by the A.M.N. Foundation for the Advancement of Science, Art and Culture in Israel.
“The EMET Prize is awarded to Michal Rovner for her outstanding pioneering achievements in the field of photography in the broad sense of the medium, for her artistic language which challenges the boundaries of the medium in still photography, video and multi-media installations; and for her work that explores political, historical and existential issues, that are at once local-mythical and universal.”—EMET Prize Jury Statement
Rovner splits her time between New York and Israel.
