Jerusalem Artists' House Unveils Four Exhibitions Exploring History and AI
Jerusalem Artists' House will open four new exhibitions on November 21, 2026, featuring AI-driven art exploring historical memory, tourism at the Wolf's Lair, and installations on trauma and architecture.
Four new exhibitions exploring historical memory, reality, and imagination are set to open on November 21, 2026, at the Jerusalem Artists' House. Among them, a particularly striking project uses artificial intelligence to place contemporary tourists alongside historical figures at Adolf Hitler's former wartime headquarters in Poland.
In the exhibition titled "A Guide to the Wolf's Lair," artist Tal Nissim—winner of the 2026 Miron Sima Prize for Visual Arts—presents a video work based on photographs he captured at the site. The location, where a group of German officers attempted to assassinate Hitler in July 1944, has since evolved into a popular tourist destination. Using AI, Nissim animates his imagery to depict tourists cruising on Segways among the ruins, snapping selfies, and dancing at a silent disco in the woods, seamlessly interacting with figures from the historical era.
Running alongside Nissim's work is Aya Sarig's exhibition, "Spirit upon the Face of the Deep: The Broken Geography of Memory," which transforms remnants of furniture, branches, and wood fragments into makeshift structures resembling shattered homes and improvised boats. Another featured project, "Down the Rabbit Hole - Conflicted Friction" by Gerry Sarig, presents an installation born from her lockdown walks, featuring urban facades transformed into printed fabrics interwoven with threads and mixed media.
Completing the quartet is Harel Hanish's "On This Night Animals Landed," part of the "Nidbach 25" project, which investigates the intersection of drawing, structure, and architectural walls. The exhibitions will run through February 13, 2027, at the Jerusalem Artists' House located at 12 Shmuel HaNagid Street, with free admission for the public.
