Sighting: Tel Aviv, Israel, 2009 Curator's note: the posters in this series, entitled, "Isreal-ity" were published and exhibited publicly by Peace Nowthe name of the exhibit, as well as its content, is a take-off on the concept of the "reality" TV genre and is meant to convey a more honest and gritty sense of life in Israel than is often found in traditional, gallery or museum sponsored poster exhibits

In yellow: The ambassador

In white: When people around the world think about Israel, it has been a long time since they have thought about oranges, kibbutzes, or views of the Dead Sea. When Israel comes up, everyone thinks about wars and an army that subjugates another people. This is how we are seen in the world. It's a shame.

Dan-

Here are pictures of the new Peace Now poster campaign. I met with the in-house designer yesterday, a nice kid who studied with Lahav Halevy. As I wrote, the series is titled Isreality and each poster has the title of a reality tv program and then the reality in the West Bank. Not a bad concept.

They'll sell the series at printing cost, which they say is 50 shekels a poster (about $12). There are 12 in all (11 are here). Do you want me to get you two copies of the entire series.

The kid also has some other posters of his own. I will send separately. There is certainly one you'll want: Pale-stain. Tell me which ones you might want and he'll have them digitally printed. Again, he says the cost will be about 50 shekels a poster.

Let me know and I'll get going with this. We are winding down the visit and leave in three weeks.
