The exhibition "Changing Room" at Alfred Gallery is a fourth joint project for artists Maya Aruch and Gal Melnick.
It is constructed as an installation "set", which hosts various events and performative collaborations during its period in the gallery space.
The events have ceremonial characteristics that maintain a live dialogue between the performers, the participants and the elements of the installation.
Along the central gallery space, a long, serpentine shaped structural element is installed, which dictates the visitors' path and redefines the boundaries and shape of the space. Along the runway, sculptural elements are installed, and peepholes in the curtains allows the viewers a peek into what is going on outside the serpentine track. The end of the path leads the viewers to a small, red, low room, in the center of which is installed a sculptural scene.
Each event that will take place during the exhibition, according to its nature, will leaving its traces in space, thus making Changing Room a dynamic installation, which is constantly changing.

Instrumental music performance by Uri Brauner Kinrot, Adam Scheflan, Ram Gabay and Maya Dunietz
