Arik
Miranda, born in 1972, is a native Israeli who lives
and works in Tel-Aviv, Israel. Miranda completed his studies
at Hamidrasha School of Arts in 1998, after studying at Avni
Institute of Arts, Tel-Aviv, Israel, between 1995-1997. Miranda's
art practice focuses on analytic irony. His work's emphasis
is on adulthood and childhood memories dealing with his personal
growing up verses the daily life in Israel and aesthetically
it drifts between the shores of Judaica and Japanese art. In
his curatorial work he assembles groups of artists according
to the "syndromes" they exhibit. He was granted the
America-Israel Cultural award in 1998-2000 and 2000-2002. This
spring, Miranda tutored a group of young emerging artists and
then curated their work in an exhibition. Currently, he is working
on a personal exhibition to be exhibited in a private gallery
in Tel-Aviv in 2004, following an exhibition at the Hamidrasha
Art Gallery, held in December 2003. Miranda was just appointed
the Art Editor of Xtra Large, a lifestyle magazine published
in Tel-Aviv.
