In the video: Zumo lands in Nahariya (Tomer Fruchter)

Last year we told you about Zumo - the first traveling museum in Israel to set up huge exhibitions in cities like Yeruham, Arad, Hatzor HaGlilit, Kiryat Yam and Lod.

Just before continuing to Jaffa, Zumo lands in Nahariya and sets up an exhibition at Zoglowek's abandoned sausage factory.

For a week, the ancient building will wake up from a long coma and instead of producing sausages, it will become a bustling and lively art factory for all the residents of Nahariya and the surrounding area and the artists in particular.

"Remember, Nahariya was a summer city that everyone knew about," says Zumo's communications director, Ariel Adiram.

"We came to a factory that was to be destroyed and turned into a residential neighborhood, and we discovered a crazy space and amazing in its beauty with halls just waiting for someone to create something new and alive inside them."

About 50 artists from all over the cultural milieu in the country were invited to perform at Zumo.

Some of them even got to participate in a residency program that took place in Nahariya for the benefit of developing a work that will be displayed in the factory.



"We wanted to deal with a two-year recovery from an epidemic," Adiram adds.

"That's why we called the exhibition Lifetime Achievement. We want to give back to the meat enterprise the enterprise of life and vitality, and all the works deal with this subject from all sorts of directions. "In life, the contrast created within a place that created things on a mechanical production line creates interest."

Part of Zumo's agenda is to share as much with the community and the environment as possible.

Therefore the stay in the exhibition includes full participation in each of the exhibits using green screens scattered throughout the factory spaces.

"Each of you can in real time bring something of your own and be an active partner in the work. Whether it's a statement, a family photo or a landscape you want to mold inside."



Racheli Sharperstein, an artist whose work is on display at Zumo Nahariya, managed to turn the memories of the city's residents into particularly colorful and colorful sausages.

As part of the work process, she discovered a lack of access to art and a great thirst for cultural activity in the area.

"I started working here two weeks ago," she says.

"When I was approached by Mazum I thought it would be very interesting to work within the local radius with materials collected at the site itself."



Sharperstein's work soon became an exciting community activity.

"It is important to share with the people who live in the city. That is why we collected materials that reflect the place. From local pruning from the vegetation in the area, to building materials and even flags from the city's old branding, T-shirts and Lotto and Toto forms we grabbed from Ga'aton Street. "

The artist Sahar Mi'ari, a member of the Kabri Gallery and a lecturer at the Art College, also chose to present concrete installations based on his acquaintance with the factory, even as a child.

As a resident of the neighboring village of Makar, many of his family members made a living from the craft of kneading in the factory.

Combining clean childhood memories with dirty industrialization, led him to create an installation that exposes the sewer infrastructure and pipes.



"My works deal with construction, material and local Arab practice," explains Mi'ari.

"All the childish space burned into my childhood dreams is applied to the large gallery space. When you look at the work it's a bit reminiscent of the playground facilities. A combination of cleanliness and dirt. The building. "



He said when he was invited to present at Zumo, the choice to address memories was almost self-evident.

"I was intrigued to know and talk about the history of Zoglowek and also to know the factory itself and refer to it within the installation work. I am identified with the working class and it intrigues me to deal with the structure but also to refer to the workers themselves. Culture in Nahariya. "

More recommendations:



Do not miss the work of Niv Gafni.

An artist who breathed life into an old treadmill, replaced the treadmill with sandpaper and placed a block of Jerusalem stone on it.

When the treadmill is turned on, the stone grinds and the block of stone disappears.

Yes, this is one of the works that makes us wonder about the race of life, essence and taste.



Another work that is worth noting is that of photographer Davy Barel who took part in Zumo's residency program.

His works consist of still images from the daily life of Nahariya.

From an abandoned shelter and the neighborhoods around it to Central Station.

From the photos he creates magnificent collages of landscapes from all over the world that fill the entire main hangar in the exhibition.



The work of Amira Podi, an Arab artist from the north whose family members worked in the factory, also left its mark on the factory's last workers using plaster molds.

In fact, their sculpted palms protrude from the wall and hold, of course, sausages.



And finally, some local gossip: there is no Naharini resident who is unfamiliar with the main square and the tank facing Lebanon combined with a fountain.

A typical Israeli landscape.

This is exactly why Isaac Delanga, a respected Naharini artist, painted on the ceramic stones of the Pattern factory in the form of the cannon and turned the weapons of war into a stunning decoration.

The video art artist born in the city, Dor Zelicha, also created a video work from the cannon.

If you get close enough, you can discover Lebanese divers who handle weapons of war and direct them in an Israeli direction.

The familiar raw material became the basis of two thought-provoking works.
