Episode description

This week on Times Will Tell, host Amanda Borschel-Dan takes you with her to the Israel Museum in Jerusalem to view for the first time seven new contemporary art sculptures in an exhibit called Disrupted Layer.

The seven pieces were all created by artist Zohar Gotesman, who was inspired by archaeological artifacts from the museum’s collection. They are distributed throughout the archaeology wing, much like stops on a treasure map. As you’ll hear, some pieces blend in more than others.

Gotesman and Borschel-Dan were joined by the exhibit's co-curators, Sally Haftel Naveh and Tali Sharvit, whom you’ll also hear during this slightly longer-than-usual podcast in which we tour the exhibit and match first impressions with the artist's real intentions.

Times Will Tell podcasts are available for download on iTunes, TuneIn, Pocket Casts, Stitcher, PlayerFM or wherever you get your podcasts.
