Chelouche Gallery in Tel Aviv–Yafo will open its new exhibition season on September 3 with a presentation bringing together works by Tama Goren and guest artist Meira Shemesh. The announcement frames the project as part of a broader season comprising two exhibitions that connect artists from different generations and propose new perspectives on the canon of Israeli art.
The presentation includes Goren’s 2024 work ‘studying for the exam’, made with pens and watercolor on paper. The work measures 60 by 42 centimeters. Shemesh is represented by ‘The 90’s’, a 1990 work using chalk, pencil and colored pens, measuring 34 by 24 centimeters.
The announcement identifies Shemesh as the guest artist but provides no further biographical information or account of the exhibition’s curatorial structure. It also does not specify the number of works to be shown beyond the two works listed in the notice, so the presentation’s full scope remains unstated.
A separate listing in the same gallery communication identifies a second presentation involving Moshe Kupferman. It includes ‘Untitled (series of 16 works)’, dated 1996 and made with mixed media on paper, with each work measuring 26.5 by 19 centimeters. The source does not provide a title for that presentation or further details about how it relates to the Goren and Shemesh exhibition.
Chelouche Gallery’s announcement describes the two season-opening exhibitions as bringing together artists of different generations. Within the Goren and Shemesh presentation, the dated works span more than three decades, from Shemesh’s 1990 drawing-based work to Goren’s 2024 composition on paper. No additional interpretation of the works or statement from either artist is included in the available material.
The opening is scheduled for Thursday, September 3, 2026, at 7 p.m. at Chelouche Gallery, 15 Hazorfim Street, Tel Aviv–Yafo. The gallery lists regular opening hours as Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The announcement does not give a closing date for either exhibition.
