ABOUT THE PROJECT​

Site Specific was founded by Hila Peres and Yohai Barak. Our mission is to assist visual artists in being relevant participants in the local and global art scene. The young artists’ agency collaborates with artists in various fields – Painting, Sculpturing, Photography and installation. The mutual work provides alternative solutions designed according to the artists’ career faze, their espiers, professional goals and abilities. We aim to be a refreshing option for self-conduct in the art scene.
From our daily work with artists, we learned that there is an almost immanent gap between artists and their works and the people who buy it. Artistic talent is not always enough in order to succeed in this competitive world. Most of the artists we collaborate with are characterized by high commitment to the profession they chose. They are not necessarily waiting to be discovered but are taking responsibility for their careers, initiating, and acting to self-promote themselves in the art world.  Since we started the project, we created a network of collectors and architects, collaborated with growing amount of artists, built websites, wrote artist statements, organized studio visits, and applied to art competitions, rewards and residency programs.
In addition, every few months we produce pop-up gallery events in alternative spaces in Tel Aviv, in which we exhibit and sell artworks in a wide range of medias, styles and price levels. Our motivation in those exhibitions is to provide artists an additional platform to show and sell their work in order to earn their living from their artistic craft. We do not charge participation fees and most of the incomes are directed to artists themselves.
