During my nearly four decades long career and in the field of photography and in my capacity of senior curator at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem I had the opportunity to conceive and create over 180 exhibitions worldwide, from Japan through Europe to the West Coast (installation views), and traveling shows, most of them accompanied with books or catalogs.
Based on my knowledge and experience I propose to develop projects (exhibitions and publications) in both historic and contemporary photography, thematic exhibitions, group and one person shows for photographers.
Currently I am working on a new exhibition and book on Manuel Alvarez Bravo with mostly unpublished photographs that will shed light on hitherto undisclosed facets of his art, his vision and mode of thinking.
I am listed among the Israeli curators on TheArtLab site.
