The exhibition Trickle emerged as a result of the invitation issued by the artist Sara Benninga, who is active at the Artists' Studios at Teddy Stadium, to the multimedia artist Noam Bar, to present a joint exhibition at the New Gallery. The exhibition Trickle, which features Sara Benninga’s paintings and Noam Bar’s sculptures from the past year, illuminates themes of identity. Digital images, flickering screens, the fragmentation and connection of different worlds preoccupy both artists, each in his or her own way. The works in the exhibition raise question regarding an actual and conceptual trickle of material and the blending of background and space, interior and exterior. A trickle, actual and conceptual, is the leitmotif running through the works in the exhibition. In Benninga's paintings it is the relation between the blended figures and the background, their dissolution into stains of color and brushstrokes, and their reconfiguration as a new constellation. The same process takes place, albeit in a different way, in Bar's sculptures. The sculptures are composed of thin iron or wood rods that form a skeleton of sorts; thus the space surrounding the sculpture penetrates and contains it, and the sculpture in turn defines the space in which it is situated.
