Israel Museum premieres new project by Sharon Lockhart based on works by Israeli dance composer Noa Eshkol

JERUSALEM.- The Israel Museum presents the premiere of a new project by the noted American artist Sharon Lockhart, exploring the work of prominent Israeli dance composer Noa Eshkol (1924–2007). Opening December 13, Sharon Lockhart | Noa Eshkol will feature a new film installation and photographic series by Lockhart inspired by Eshkol and the Eshkol-Wachman Movement Notation (EWMN) System, which Eshkol developed together with architect Avraham Wachman to describe human locomotion. Also on view will be a selection of wall carpets created by Eshkol, as well as scores, drawings, and other archival material pertaining to her work, creating an encounter between the two artists that raises questions about the nature of artistic practice, its preservation and its interpretation.
