Museum collections of various kinds are the object of artist Dana Levy's ongoing, consistent study in the past decade. Levy traces their diffuse logic, always opting for the whole over the details, while exploring the passions setting the collectors in motion and the accumulated picture sketched by the collection at large...With the blessing of the Petach Tivka Museum of Art and the Israel Antiquities Authority, Levy was given permission to take some one hundred works from the collection storeroom, which were suspended on the walls of the Mazor Mausoleum archaeological site—a Roman tomb near Petach Tikva.
