A chance meeting with artist and children’s art teacher Vered Levanon Parente at the community center led Tati into a dialogue with artists living in Jessy Cohen. Parente introduced him to Mimi Rosenberg, who in turn introduced him to Genadi (Gedaliah) Tsimel.
Vered Levanon Parente
Parente is a painter and art teacher at Lazaros Community Center. The exhibition presents her pencil and marker drawings on paper, which bring imagery from her everyday life into dialogue with imaginary worlds.

Mimi Rosenberg
Rosenberg is a painter, sculptor, and member of the artists’ group Color in Nature. She has taught painting in several institutions and in Jewish Agency art camps. Her work has appeared in numerous exhibitions, and her sculptures are installed throughout Holon.
Genadi (Gedaliah) Tsimel
Tsimel studied at the Academy of Fine Art in Ukraine and taught students in Jaffa and Holon. The exhibition presents a short documentary about his life alongside wood sculptures, engravings, and miniature works, including pieces inspired by African sculpture and Judaica.
THE KABOOM! PROCESS
Meir Tati and Danish artist Søren Dahlgaard presented two collaborative projects in the exhibition.
In Dough Portraits, participants played with and shaped dough before placing it on their heads, creating a playful variation on the traditional portrait.
In Composition 1–8, the artists arranged movable wooden walls into temporary sculptures. The forms recall modern outdoor sculpture, but replace its weight and permanence with lightness, mobility, and constant change. These fleeting compositions bring sculpture into dialogue with street art, becoming a form of “sculpture graffiti.”
