Lifeguard Stand

With its back to the museum - the Lifeguard Stand is displayed in the Israeli Art Collection at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. Those seated in the station are invited to look from the window outside the museum. When we were invited by the Curator Ellen Ginton to execute an intervention in the collection's exhibit, we chose to work in a side corridor adjacent to the collection, an unused interim space that was created between the architecture of the new wing and a straight plaster wall that was constructed for the exhibit. The viewer is invited to climb into the station and be seated in a deck chair where they can look out on the urban landscape and the "Culture Square" of Tel Aviv. There are windows above the museum's main entrance so that visitors can observe the individual seated in the guard station. We are positioning the observer at a strategic point visible from both inside and outside the museum.

The work was created in cooperation with Noa Gross.
