The Project
Blick is a collaborative project by Israeli artists Adi Oz Ari and Michelle Medenblik, German artist Cornelia Renz, and Sophie Schmid.
​
Blick hosts art exhibitions in private apartments in Tel Aviv and Berlin, welcoming visitors on weekends. The project creates space for connection between Israeli and German artists—whether they live in one city, move between both, or explore the relationship between them through their work.
​
The Blick Project, inspired by both Tel Aviv and Berlin, aims to grow new collaborations and celebrate the creative links that already exist.
​
The Inspiration
Blick is inspired by Sonntag ("Sunday"), a project by Berlin-based artists April Gertler and Adrian Schiesser, who hosted exhibitions in their home on the third weekend of each month. These events were open to the public and considered just as significant as formal gallery shows.
​
Blick aims to create a local version of this concept by bringing art back into the private sphere. This intimate setting fosters a direct connection between the artwork and its viewers, while also encouraging dialogue between hosts and guests—and between Israeli and German cultures.
The Hosts
​​​​​
We welcome anyone interested in hosting an intercultural art event—regardless of where they live, their background, or the condition of their home. The host's apartment becomes a temporary exhibition space, blending art with everyday life.
​
Whether you're already involved in the art world or simply curious and open to a short-term cultural experience, you're invited to take part. We especially encourage those who haven't yet engaged with art in this way to join us and be part of the conversation.
The History
The Berlin project draws inspiration from a 1966 performance by artist Konrad Lueg (later Fischer), who invited friends and acquaintances to share coffee and cake with him in a Düsseldorf gallery. With this gesture, he reestablished a fundamental connection between art and the domestic sphere.
This mode of presenting art—embedded in everyday life—has deep roots, from commissioned works during the Renaissance to the Art Salons of the late 19th century. Lueg’s action revived this tradition, making space once again for art to exist alongside ordinary experience.
