The number of art exhibitions that deal with the local art scene from a critical sociological standpoint can be counted on one hand, with fingers to spare. In Israel, we usually remain far from this sort of discussion, or automatically relegate it to the past.
Around here, when speaking of reflection, one is referring to artistic elements such as the use of space, materials and form, and the tensions among these, or else to the private symbols of the language of the self. There are exhibitions that purportedly deal with ideology and history, but really revolve around the narrative of (Zionist) collectivity and what happened to it. Exhibitions that wail and moan without naming names, that seem to imply that privatization, occupation, gentrification and so on are just forces of nature.
