Yehudit Sasportas Bio & CV

Yehudit Sasportas is one of the most prominent and prolific Israeli artists working in the local and international art scene today. Her work is focused on site-specific installations, which include sculptures, drawings, video, and sound works, and calls for an intense sensory experience. Her installations have gone through a process of adapting and responding to the architecture of various museum spaces while forming into artworks that present a new way of reading architecture itself, as well as the wider cultural context it was created in. Her sculptural installations deal with a fascinating correspondence, taking place between subconscious materials, unspoken and unseen, and the way these layers of information activate conscious areas across the surface.

Sasportas represented Israel in the 2007 Venice Biennale, Italy, and has presented more than 17 international solo exhibitions during the last decade, in venues such as Locus Solus, Arter Museum, Istanbul, Turkey, 2022; The Archeology of the Unseen, Kunsthalle Wilhelmshaven, Wilhelmshaven, Germany, 2020; Rifts Of Absence, Villa Schöningen, Potsdam, Germany, 2017; HaMakom, GL Strand, Kunsthalle, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2016; Seven Winters, Israel Museum, Jerusalem, Israel, 2013; Hasipur – The Story, Herbert Gerisch-Stiftung, Neumünster, Germany, 2010; The Clearing of the Unseen, DA2 Domus Atrium, Salamanca, Spain, 2009; The Laboratory, Kunstverein Braunschweig, Braunschweig, Germany, 2008; By the River, Matrix 200, the Berkley Museum of Art, San Francisco, USA, 2002; The Carpenter and the Seamstress II, Deitch Projects, New York, USA, 2001.

Sasportas is a senior professor at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in the Department of Fine Arts. She has taught in the BFA and MFA Programs since 1994. She works simultaneously in Berlin and Tel Aviv, with high international professional commitment and involvement.
