The minimalism in Ruti\u2019s works makes sure these symbols \u2013 that in their mundane surroundings may contradict and even oppose each other \u2013 are neutralized and therefore allow a new interpretation of the situation they reveal and the way they are displayed. This multi-dimensional thought process of reality-ritual-condition causes a flood of questions regarding the relationship between us and the world surrounding us \u2013 between the world of existence and the world of experience.<br \/>\nMatityahu takes the material to minimalist places and by so doing neutralizes part of its common characteristics. The exhibition displays a circle of white butterflys, a sculpted bird\u2019s wing, a turning wheel on which ten purple circles are painted. In the center of the room stands a mosaic with a pomegranate in the midst of a blue circle. The work faces the wall \u2013 to see it one must circle it and thus be forcibly drawn into a ritual atmosphere.<br \/>\nThe logical element is intertwined into the installation \u2013 from the exhibition\u2019s materials throughout their meaning and the way they are presented.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6352,"template":"","categories":[204],"artists":[2326],"exhibition":[2327],"curator":[1501],"years":[3763],"class_list":["post-2996","exhibitions","type-exhibitions","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solo-exhibitions","artists-ruti-matityahu","exhibition-life-circles","curator-tolkovsky-zvi","years-2011-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibitions\/2996","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\/6352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2996"},{"taxonomy":"artists","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artists?post=2996"},{"taxonomy":"exhibition","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition?post=2996"},{"taxonomy":"curator","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/curator?post=2996"},{"taxonomy":"years","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/years?post=2996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
