Edition 2024

Matan Mittwoch

Born 1982 in Tel-Aviv, Israël.
Lives and works in Tel-Aviv, Israël and Paris, France.
Mittwoch investigates the ubiquitous technological tools and the control appliance that they induce. In an era when everything has turned “smart”, when technology is part of our daily life, the artist analyzes these tools to understand their impact on our bodies, our emotions, our attention and our relationships to each other. In Mittwoch’s works, the mechanical eye competes with the human eye in a perceptual experiment. The technological tools which surround us become striking catalyzers of forms often recalling the modern history of abstraction. Matan Mittwoch was awarded the Gérard Lévy Prize of The Israel Museum in 2014-2015, the T.A Scholarship, Bezalel Academy Of Art And Design in 2013, and the Igal Ahouvi Art Collection Promising Artist Award in 2012.
