Naama Tsabar

Naama Tsabar explores the cultural norms and hierarchical systems ingrained within popular music through her sculptures, performances, and installations. Her works combine multiple elements and musical instruments, often made with industrial materials such as plywood, felt, and paper in muted tones to evoke the Post-Minimalist art movement of the 1970s. By incorporating guitar strings, tuners, microphones, and speakers, Tsabar's pieces go beyond abstract formalism and step into live performance. To liven her installations, the artist collaborates mainly with women and gender nonconforming musicians, to create music ranging from experimental noise to more conventional songwriting. Through these collaborations, Tsabar examines the intricate relationships between bodies, space, sexuality, and identity, infusing seemingly neutral objects with a distinct feminist perspective. Through her interactive installations she reimagines gendered narratives, and shifts the audience's passive perception to one of active engagement, highlighting the unheard and obscured.
