Until June 11, the international architecture exhibition at the Deák17 Gallery, which presents the history, outlook and outstanding buildings of early modernist architecture in Tel Aviv, can be visited. The Gallery is now preparing a guided tour for visitors, where the curators of the exhibition will introduce the part of the coastal Israeli city that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and its unique architectural wonder. The curators of the exhibition are recognized specialists who know these buildings intimately, as they take on a prominent role in the preservation and restoration of the buildings of the White City every day. In this way, we can really learn a lot from their professional exhibition management.
“It is a green world where the animals are relatively few and small and all depend on leaves. We live from letters. Some people strangely imagine that they live on money and believe that the energy comes from the circulation of coins. And yet the world is primarily nothing but a vast colony of leaves, which feeds on leafy soil and produces leafy soil, not merely a mass of minerals, and we are not sustained by jingling coins, but by rich crops.”
These are the words of Sir Patrick Geddes, who was asked in 1925 to prepare the settlement plan for Tel Aviv and Jaffa. Its principles basically define the atmosphere of the coastal Israeli city, which has more than 4,000 early modernist (International stlye) buildings as a real curiosity.
The historical center of the city of Tel Aviv has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since June 2003. The exhibition entitled THE WHITE CITY OF TEL-AVIV, which was organized by the city of Tel-Aviv, has been touring the world since 2004. After Rome, London, Helsinki and many other locations, it is being presented for the first time in Hungary, at the Deák17 Gallery.
This time, the two curators, Prof. Arc, guide visitors through the exhibition in virtual form. Nitza Szmuk and Arch. Tal Eyal.
