A conversation with Eyal Weizman

Tuesday May 6th 2003
6:30 - 8:00 p.m.

Mr. Weizman will present, discuss and answer questions about his recent
projects and most specifically on "A Civilian Occupation: The Politics
of Israeli Architecture"

Eyal Weizman is an architect based in Tel Aviv and London.  With Rafi
Segal he is working on the redesign of the Ashdod Museum of Art and a
set for the Kameri/Itim theatre company. They have been recently
nominated amongst the finalists for the design of the Tel Aviv Museum of
Art.  Weizman and Segal created the exhibition A Civilian Occupation:
The Politics of Israeli Architecture that was recently on view at the
Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York.  The project examining
the politics of settlement was originally commissioned by the Israel
Association of United Architects but was cancelled for the World
Congress of Architecture in Berlin last July.  Weizman has conducted
research on behalf of the human rights organization B'tselem on the
planning aspects of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank.  He
co-authored Land Grab (May 2002), a human rights report, and conducted a
map project of the West Bank for the human rights organization B'Tselem.
Weizman is currently developing his doctoral thesis The Politics of
Verticality / Architecture and Occupation in the West Bank and Gaza into
a book and a documentary film. 
Space and seating is limited, so please arrive early.
