2008 The Ministry of Culture Prizes for Curatorship and Design – awarded Monday, 15 September 2008 05:52 awarded to curator Tal Ben-Zvi , a PhD candidate in the Yolanda and David Katz Faculty of the Arts. The committee: “Tal Ben-Zvi has been known for the past decade as an outstanding curator and researcher of Israeli and Palestinian art.” The judges wrote regarding their decision to award her the prize: “The disciplines with which she engages are anchored in those strata of societyor populations that have not taken a central place in the hegemonic Israeli art. Thus, for example, the representation and discourse of Palestinian arts and artists, mainly women, forms the subject of in-depth research by her in her doctoral dissertation at Tel Aviv University. Ben-Zvi demonstrated her impressive intellectual ability and productivity, expressed in her curatorship of the “Hagar” gallery, which she established in Jaffa”. The prize is awarded to promote Ben-Zvi’s research on Palestinian art and culture and toward the forthcoming exhibition “Men in the Sun”. http://www.israelidesign.org.il/english/News/Default.aspx?NewId=177&NwsCatId=3

"SLOW DANCE MARATHON" – TEL AVIV - 48 HOURS / 2006Christodoulos Panayiotou, Rabin Square, Tel AvivIn April 2006 Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square was the venue of the Slow Dance Marathon initiated by the artist Christodoulos Panayiotou, curated by Tal Ben Zvi and produced by Raw Art Gallery. 96 volunteers aged 20 to 40 took part in the marathon, which went on for 48 hours straight, dancing on a small stage erected in the middle of the square. Each participant danced for an hour where after 30 minutes, they would switch partners, as new dancers mount the stage. Most dancing couples were not previously familiar with each other and had first met on the marathon stage with a view to form a human chain of intimacy and romance amidst a public sphere.
