Kate Finkelstein is an independent artist, curator and art-critic based in Israel.

Artist

I am multidisciplinary artists and I use variety of mediums in my artistic language: sculpture (work with soap, silicone, ready-made objects), photography, clay, performance art, graphics, collages etc. Mostly I create site-specific installations, but it could be separate objects or works too.

"I see my goal like an artist in creation of multidimensional polymodal field for new human experience. Maybe we could compere such experience with dreaming. Usually in our dreams we could see something familiar and something unbelievable as well, and if we try to catch a sense of this dream we could get a new level of awareness of our life. So maybe art is a way of how humanity see collective dreams and I am the one of dreams makers".

Curator

It has been a long time since I've been interested in curatorial projects which take place outside of the white cube and make art the part of transformational processes in different areas of social life. Site-specific exhibitions, community based art, processual art projects, projects which help reflect important actual social issues - this is the main body of my curatorial practice.

I focused on reflection of local and global social processes, post colonial and identity issues (identity trauma, global identity), democracy rights.
