Safe Shore / State of Emergency
We are currently living in a state of emergency, as described by the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben. This is a state in which the government presents the limitation of personal liberties as an inevitable step for maintaining national freedom. Different from situations of anarchy or chaos, the suspension of law is given legal basis. This practice has become central to many democratic countries. Western democracy have developed a tendency not to declare a state of emergency explicitly.

Chana Orloff: Feminist Sculpture in Israel
The Mané-Katz Museum in Haifa is proud to present a selection from the works of artist Chana Orloff (1888-1968), an early proponent of a personal, revolutionary approach to the female body, alongside works of contemporary art that seek to explore conventional boundaries in depictions of the female body with regard to collective space.

To Collect Haifa
From the collection of Dr. Yermiyahu (Yeri) and Shoshana Rimon
The collections of Dr. Yirmiyahu Rimon (born in Haifa, 1933-2018), constituting one of the largest and most important private collections on the history of Palestine and Zionism, are the product of decades of enthusiastic and diligent collectorship. They bring to mind Walter Benjamin's definition, in an essay on collecting (in The Flaneur), of the collector as a courageous rebel, collecting objects not for their utilitarian value but rather according to their beauty and the memories they evoke.

Back to Wonder
With reference to such "Cabinets of Wonder" and to the artistic-curatorial discourse that has developed in recent decades in Israel and abroad, we sought to examine the inventory of the Haifa Museums' storage rooms with a fresh gaze. We searched out the wonderful, the exotic, the amusing. In the exhibition hall we stacked objects and works arbitrarily – lacking any "class-based" hierarchy, with no commitment to chronological-historical organization or to the representation of a meta-narrative.

Pillar Prints
Hashira-e (“pillar pictures”) are woodblock prints with specific measurements. The source of these long, narrow prints and the exact dates of their provenance are not known, but it seems that they were integrated into the hanging scrolls that were traditionally used to decorate the interior supporting beams of the Japanese house.
