I was invited to the 1st annual AP (artist proof) 2007 symposium at Ein Hod artist colony outside of Haifa. I interviewed a variety of international artists that were there to participate with our local artists in lectures, seminars, sightseeing and the creation of their own works to be exhibited at the Castra center in Haifa called Meeting Point. This was an amazing opportunity for local artists to create relationships with artists from abroad for future collaboration and exchange of ideas. The participating countries: England, Poland, Spain, El Salvador, Italy, Romania, Kosovo, USA, Israel.
Thanks to Nadav and Nechama for their gracious hospitality. They are the hosts for this first of many annual gatherings of its kind at Ein Hod. In fact their home/gallery was the main building where many of the artists were creating their pieces for the finale. I hope to have the first of many of these quite fascinating interviews up soon on the site. For detailed information about the symposium visit: http://m2.haifa.ac.il/ap/html/artists_eng.html
We also took video of the interviews thanks to Tal Golan. I hope that this will be the first of many more video podcasts to come. Stay tuned!
