Bikkurim 3 presents new works by six young artists who are recent graduates of art schools in Jerusalem and who live and work in the city. On display are works in various mediums such as painting, sculpture, installation, and sound, each artist in his or her own sphere. 

The artworks present challenges to the thought patterns that seem to be fixed in Israeli culture. An object, environment, or idea is treated and transformed in such a way as to change its fundamental nature. Through large and small gestures, the transformation accomplishes a transmutation of the mundane which is so ordinary and so familiar, into poetic moments full of beauty and imagination.

​

Bikkurim is a biannual project hosted by the New Gallery and Artists’ Studios, Teddy Stadium, and sponsored by the Jerusalem Municipality’s Department of Plastic Arts. The project also provides professional support and artistic guidance to young Jerusalem-based artists in order to encourage artistic creativity in the city.
