Whole in the Wall

'Whole in the Wall' was an exhibition at the Ayyam Gallery in New Bond Street by Palestinian artist Khaled Jarrar.

The exhibition was an observation on daily life in Palestine using the medium of concrete. The show included a long concrete wall separating the gallery entrance with the information desk.  A hole in this wall in the shape of Palestine allowed visitors to the gallery climb through the installation itself to continue their visit.




 The exhibition also featured videos of the artist chipping small pieces of concrete from the Israeli-Gaza barrier which he then used to create several sculptures of everyday objects.  These also featured in the gallery.
