Magasin III Jaffa Books series of meetings with artists will host the artist Elad Rosen to launch his new artist book Plombir.

The book is based on an long-term project that Rosen conducted on his Facebook page in recent years. He performed a deep dive into the Eastern European wing of the ice cream freezers in a mini market, and tasted about fifty ice creams originating from the countries of the former Soviet Union. When converting this project into a book, Rosen kept the spirit and style in which he first reviewed the ice creams on Facebook, the first reviews are short and concise, and as the book progresses, they become longer and more personal.
Readers are invited to discover with Rosen the depths of the Plombir ocean.

Magasin III Jaffa Books series of meetings with artists will host the artist Shay Zilberman to launch his new artist book Itinerarium.

The title of the book refers to a writing tradition that began in ancient Rome – Itinerarium, which detaches itself from maps and draws the world through verbal descriptions. During the Middle Ages, the concept also referred to visual descriptions of the world that do not seek to represent its material manifestations, but rather connection points between geopolitics and the worlds of imagination. The book consists of five chapters that constitute possible internal categories of the work process, and within them sequences of collages in compositions that can be thematic and associative at the same time.

Magasin III Jaffa Books series of meetings with artists will host the artist Nurit Gur Lavy Karni to launch her artist book Flora Palaestina II: Inventories and Scrolls.

The book presents the work of Gur Lavy Karni from the last few years, painting the flora of the country. Focusing on “inventory” paintings, that is, paintings in which there is not just one flower (like an entry in a botany book), but a cluster of flowers that were collected from certain places and testify to that place. In addition, it presents “scroll” paintings – a group of huge paintings, about 11 meters each, that absorb the artist’s stream of consciousness while working in the studio.

Magasin III Jaffa Books is collaborating again with Artport at the artist’s book fair!

The first and largest artist book fair in Israel is back!
Over 400 books, more than 200 artists, 20 book events, conversations, panels and launches, art performances about books, fanzines, and other surprises, on a weekend dedicated entirely to books and art.

The fair will be held between May 3-6, during these opening hours:
Wednesday, May 3rd: 12pm-10pm
Thursday, May 4th: 12pm-10pm
Friday, May 5th: 10am-4pm
Saturday, May 6th: 10am-6pm

Many of the books in the fair are unique standalone objects that extend the artist’s practice, some are a continuation of an exhibition, some summarize a period of time, but all open a window to a new world that exists between the pages. Photography, painting, printing and illustration, hard leather bindings alongside pages stapled together, words woven into images, images that become a story, page-turning that becomes a journey – the art book fair is an exciting and sensational experience.

See you there!

Magasin III Jaffa Books series of meetings with artists will host the artist Shai Zakai with her book ‘Forest Tunes – The Library 1995-2011’.
It took 17 years of research, writing, photographing, and then the development of a pioneering process for green printing, to create the book. The book includes the process of collecting, compilating, sorting, and cataloging of leaves from 19 countries, and connects the meditative, poetic writing with the botanical, scientific writing, as well as documentary writing that refers (seemingly) to the concrete, such as the location of the leaves and points on the journey.

During the meeting visitors will be able to touch and feel fallen leaves, purchase copies of the book in Hebrew and English with the artist’s signature and purchase small photographs from a limited series.
