The exhibition includes 12 installations that explore the changing status of agriculture in Israel in recent decades. Curated by Tali Tamir an independent curator specializing in contemporary art and the history of art and culture, the show includes works by leading contemporary Israeli artists that range from intimate statements of personal memory to the analysis of power mechanisms at work in the agricultural arena.

"At Adama, we put the farmer at the center of everything we do, and supporting this exhibit - which explores the poetic and cultural aspects of agriculture and farming - is a natural extension of that," said Michal Arlosoroff, General Legal Counsel and Corporate Social Responsibility Officer at Adama. "Our involvement with the Petach Tikva Art Museum is also an opportunity to broaden the exposure of young people to farming and agriculture through their school visits to the exhibit, and to share a deeper understanding of the farming profession through a different and inspiring medium."

During its four month run, the show is expected to be viewed by over 90,000 people, among them many school groups. More information about the event can be found here: http://www.petachtikvamuseum.com .
