Dan Nadel writes:
“Ohad Meromi was born in 1967 in Kibbutz Mizra, Israel, and lives and works in New York. He graduated from Bezalel Academy of Art and went on to receive his MFA from Columbia University School of the Arts. He has exhibited at venues and events including The Israel Museum, Jerusalem; The Tel Aviv Museum of Art; The 2nd Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art; The Lyon Biennial, France; Martin Gropius Bau, Berlin; Magasin 3, Stockholm; De Appel Museum, Amsterdam; Sculpture Center, New York; MoMa PS1, New York; and Art in General, New York.
“Architecture, sex, sculpture, patterns, bold forms in space – the stuff of living. Ohad Meromi describes the feeling of being in buildings, on sidewalks, in a body, moving and seeing and feeling, and he does it with a profound knowledge of modernist and utopian dreams, not to mention a dancer’s attention to the way our lumpy flesh feels from inside and out.”
