Originally from Ukraine, Klone moved to Israel as a child. It was an event which was to have a major impact on his work. Now, the artist will give a talk at Manege on how the change of country and culture affected his perception of reality and helped define a means of visual communication with the world. The talk will cover the phenomenon of human memory: how, as time goes by, various visual impressions emerge in the most unexpected contexts, creating new stories and perspectives on reality.
Admission is free by advance registration. The event will be held in Russian.
The talk will be followed by the opening of the artist’s installation Can You See Me? on the square by Manege’s western facade. Guests will get a first glimpse of the installation and have the chance to enjoy a mulled wine with the artist.

About the artist
Igor Revelis / Klone (Tel Aviv) is one of Israel’s leading artists today. Having moved to the country from Ukraine at a young age, Klone was both a witness and active member of the burgeoning graffiti scene there. The themes explored by the artist can be found permeating the streets of European, Middle Eastern and American cities. They are themes revolving around relations between diasporas, cultural identity, and finding one’s home. Klone uses letters, symbols, and traditional iconography to build bridges between cultures – something which is particularly vital in such a diverse country as Israel.
