We start the week saying good-bye to August and welcoming September. That means, of course, good-bye to the annoying humid heat of the season (well, gradually… don’t get so excited) and a new week full of activities, among them, some selected exhibitions from the Tel Aviv Illustration Week, plus some cool parties and more.
Sunday (tonight)
Clueless Themed Farewell / Birthday Party @ Har Sinai from 20:00 –
Having a farewell party is a must thing to do when you are about to leave your country and move abroad. Well, at least that’s the idea of this party that will take place in Har Sinai, inspired in the movie “Clueless” (who doesn’t love a good theme party?). Plus, they’ll be also celebrating a birthday.
Come on and crash this party, with your best rad outfit: plaid patterns, big necklaces and pom-poms. Expect the kind of music Cher and Dionne would love to sing, also, a screening of the aforementioned film that probably you have seen already around two hundred times, but you’re still not tired of it.

Wednesday
Docaviv | The Visit @ Tel Aviv Cinematheque from 19:45 –
The most recent film of director Michael Madsen, “The Visit”, offers a visual experience of another world by addressing an unusual issue: the visit of extraterrestrial beings. Madsen is known for approaching complicated issues in his films, such as communicating with the future about nuclear waste storage, and this time he turns his attention to outer space affairs.
Rather than a well-informed speculation, the film is a deeply philosophical inquiry about our own behavior and our triumphs and failures as a species. How do we see ourselves and how do we communicate with others?
83 min, English subtitles. Free entrance prior registration.
(Apparently all the places have sold out, but you can sign up for the waiting list).

Saturday
Exchange | Exhibition @ Binyamin Gallery –
This exhibition from young artists graduated from Bezalel, a prestigious art school, presents three visual stories that talk to and tease each other, and challenge the audience in new and different ways of understanding. The attitude of the three stories to the physical structure of visual space creates new dimensions and affects the classic narrative structure of the story, raising questions about illustrations’ right to exist in an exhibition format.
The opening event will take place on Saturday evening at 20:30, but you’ll be able to attend the exhibition until Saturday 12, from Sunday to Thursday (15:00 – 22:00), Friday from 11:00 to 16:00, and Saturday from 11:00 to 22:00. Free.
