Talia Sidi: Five Works

Talia Sidi’s short yet intensive career lasted about ten years, from her time in a student at the art department at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem, from which she graduated in 1997, to her untimely death in 2006, at the age of 35. In this short period of time she gained recognition and acclaim.
Marking ten years to her death, five of her monumental works are on view at the entrance hall of the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art. The precise, tempestuous move that informs her work reveals raw, sensitive nerves, and her artistic language responds to reality with a combination of great urgency and sharp conceptualization.
