Glam, Body, and Destruction
A conversation between artists Lali Fruheling and Daniel Lieberman, and fashion designer Shahar Avnet
An encounter between fashion, image, and the body, and the ways in which fantasy and destruction operate as complementary and opposing creative forces.
Lali Fruheling invites fashion designer Shahar Avnet to a conversation about the formation of her language as a designer and her path into worlds of tulle and glamour, as the realization of fantasy and a conscious choice of identity as a creator, woman, and mother, alongside artist Daniel Lieberman, whose figure based sculptures are presented in the exhibition. Lieberman will share an ongoing investigation of the body as both raw material and pedestal, and her transition from appearing as a model in magazines to the dismantling of the body and its image through photography, video, and sculpture.
Daniel Lieberman is an artist working with photography, video, and sculptural objects. Her practice explores subject object relations, self representation, and personal and familial archives, using portraiture and photography as performative acts. She holds a BFA in Photography from 2022 and an MFA in Art from 2024 from Bezalel Academy, and is the recipient of the Micha Kirshner Prize for Excellence in Photography.
Shahar Avnet is a fashion designer and artist, a graduate of Shenkar College from 2016. In 2018, she founded the brand that bears her name.
