One of the centerpieces of this exhibition is the full text of the Heart Sutra, written in traditional Chinese characters.<br \/>\nThe title piece of the exhibition will be prepared at the opening event, and wil be hung on a wall left vacant especially.<br \/>\nEmpty-handed I return home. Originally, the phrase was written with four Chinese characters. It can be interpreted literally: a man \u2013 perhaps a hunter or a failed merchant \u2013 returns home empty handed. But it can also be viewed as a saying about life in general, as with Job\u2019s phrase; \u201cNaked I came from my mother\u2019s womb, and naked I shall return there\u201d (Job 1:21). Job too will return \u201cthere,\u201d home, to his mother\u2019s womb, naked, that is with empty hands.<br \/>\nAnd perhaps the empty hands are those of the artist. Empty in the sense that they are changing, free, unburdened. The artist returns home with empty hands in every piece of work, for every landscape he paints and every poem he writes are \u201chome.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5467,"template":"","categories":[204],"artists":[491],"exhibition":[492],"curator":[493],"years":[494],"class_list":["post-1506","exhibitions","type-exhibitions","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solo-exhibitions","artists-kazuo-ishii","exhibition-empty-handed-i-return-home","curator-dror-burstein","years-2012-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibitions\/1506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibitions"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/exhibitions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5467"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1506"},{"taxonomy":"artists","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artists?post=1506"},{"taxonomy":"exhibition","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition?post=1506"},{"taxonomy":"curator","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/curator?post=1506"},{"taxonomy":"years","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/years?post=1506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
