If so, what characterizes it? Where do \u201ccomfort zone\u201d and \u201cwar zone\u201d meet? What happens when the political defines the personal and vice versa?<br \/>\nSo many questions BUT\u2026 let\u2019s start from the beginning.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/avitalmanor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Avital Manor<\/a>\u00a0is my hero. She is also the curator behind\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/%D7%9E%D7%90%D7%99%D7%99%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%9D-%D7%9E%D7%90%D7%99%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%9D\/1025435167483610?ref=aymt_homepage_panel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Comfort Zone<\/a>, an exhibition taking place at the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.binyamin-gallery.com\/p477108487\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Binyamin Gallery<\/a>\u00a0in Tel Aviv, with some of my all times fave Israeli illustrators.<br \/>\nI\u2019ve heard so much about the process behind the scenes and all I can say is: I have mad respect for Avital and all these young illustrators. These guys will do everything in their power to show their art, their way and in their own terms. I guess this is also part of them getting out of their comfort zone, leaving their sketchbooks and screens behind and coming front and center with their art.<br \/>\n\u201cIn this exhibition we wish to confront the idea behind a \u2018Comfort Zone\u2019 and its meaning for a new generation of illustrators working today in Israel; A generation born and raised into a digital narcissistic reality, where each moment their actions are judged by society over photos and status-updates \u2013 an endless trial whose verdict changes, and even reverses, every second; A generation that, even before they have \u2018earned\u2019 the habits and patterns which define their own comfort zone, are asked to leave it; A generation of excessive self-awareness, whose every action is given an almost immediate feedback.\u201d<br \/>\nJust one more thing that I need to mention, the illustrations are being displayed inside light-boxes, which I love. Such a brilliant way to showcase all these beautiful illustrations while adding another dimension to this illustrated party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is there such a thing as an \u201cIsraeli [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":27494,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[510,33],"tags":[89],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/designbreakonline.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27490"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/designbreakonline.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/designbreakonline.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/designbreakonline.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/designbreakonline.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27490"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/designbreakonline.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27490\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/designbreakonline.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/designbreakonline.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/designbreakonline.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/designbreakonline.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
