Zivia Kay

Zivia Kay is a textile artist, visual ethics researcher, and senior lecturer at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design. She holds a Ph.D. from the Technion and is known for her unique, culturally-driven textile art. Kay's work combines political philosophy, hacktivism, and fashion theory, and she coined the concept of ‘The Signature of Appearance’. She is involved in various initiatives such as Israel100 and is the owner of kUAH studio, focusing on visual activism and civic strategies. She has received numerous awards and scholarships, including the 2019 Best Innovative Judaica Research. Kay also teaches at Bezalel and the Technion, specializing in conceptual design, ethics, and activism. She has exhibited her work internationally in solo and group exhibitions. Since 2020, she is active as a fashion designer as well and has been designing clothing collections in her studio based on the concept of "temporary for ever".

Kay views design as part of an evolving creative process, which includes a conceptual statement referencing the history of design and art. Her professional intentions to combine practice and theory are assimilated in her teaching as well as in her artworks...[1][2].As part of her educational agenda while coordinating the Ethical Fashion track, students were challenged to rethink dressing rituals and codes[3][4][5]. Students of her at the Architecture and Urban Planning at the Technion were experiencing hacking actions when raising residents awareness to the social urban ideas [6] Following the tradition of material scarcity that dominated Israeli design, Kay uses simple materials such as plywood and fabric. She challenges fashion trends, "those that are the latest, talked about, with the artist's signature," she writes in the exhibition brochure for 'Rotunda', which showcased her works at the Periscope Gallery. The chairs, shelves, and tables she creates do not have stylistic or aesthetic significance, but they possess simplicity, movement, and conceptual experience, transforming a familiar and worn product into a work of art[7]. Kay's writing is a combination of a call to action and cultural criticism, along with new thinking on visual ethics[8].

The work "Netilat Yadayim" (2008) was designed in collaboration with Israeli designer Dov Ganchrow. The piece was presented at the 'Reinventing Ritual' exhibition at the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco in 2010 and at the Jewish Museum in New York in 2009. The design re-examines the goals and constraints of ritual, focusing on objects, interior structure, and practices from Christian, Jewish, and Muslim traditions in Arab restaurants[9].

The work "Kelipot" (2002) critiques the Israeli desire to convert Eastern folkloric rituals into an allegedly high culture[10]. It was displayed in exhibitions in Israel and abroad, including at the Bezalel School of Art, the Holon Gallery, and the Eretz Israel Museum. The term "Kelipot" is a play on the word "tool." The serving bowl (12 cm in diameter) is made of ceramic casting, designed to hold sunflower seeds and shells. The shells are returned to another part of the same vessel[11]

As a curator Kay worked, among other exhibitions, on "periscoptiva" an exhibition that documented 15 years of the Periscope Gallery for Design in Tel Aviv. Unlike the book, which chronologically documents the gallery's activities, the exhibition at the Artists' House examines local design developments through the lens of 15 years of Periscope's activities. Therefore, it also features designers and works that were not shown at the gallery. As mentioned, the exhibition displays approximately 150 works by about 40 active creators, whose work represents milestones in the development of local design concepts.The works are arranged along a continuous path that runs through the spaces at the Artists' House. The display emphasizes the significance of the works by creating a shared design arena, shaped by a surge of independent actions. A path of rocks made of local stone is positioned as a terrace and serves as a display medium. The placement of the rocks in the center of the exhibition spaces directs the audience's attention to view from the edges toward the central activity, with the existing disorder pattern reflecting the nature of the local design space.[12]
