"The Rhinos", Inga Gallery, Tel Aviv, June 2015
Text by: Eden Gerber and Arianne Mintz
Huddled in the gallery space stands are propped up on either side, carrying paper statuettes: figures and divinities, some dancing some castrated; bodies swaying and distorted, erections. Call them what you will, but to us they are all rhinoceroses. And you might ask, quite sensibly, how can we tell that these rhinoceroses are reveling in a till-Jerusalem’s-bitter-end party? To that we answers simply that all of these – a perforated Hitler, an excommunicated Shabbatai Zevi, cavorting magavniks (Israeli border policemen), a banana in a state of undress, as well the oozing pallid discharge, the leg spreading, the dismemberment, the cries of anguish, the unlikely penetrations – all share in the frenzy and flurry of a celebration without end, in the sensual abandon of the Dionysian mysteries of ancient Greece beyond the good and bad so fervently adhered to by the Grecians.
