From the organizer: Acclaimed Israeli documentary filmmaker Ran Tal will screen his 2012 film “Garden of Eden” and discuss his work. The film examines the depths of Israeli society in the least expected place – a national holiday resort – presenting viewers with a fascinating account full of humor, pain and compassion. A recipient of numerous awards in Israel and abroad, Tal most recently won accolades at the 2022 Berlin International Film Festival for his new film “1341 Frames of Love and War,” about photographer Micha Bar-Am. Tal is the head of the MFA documentary film program at the Steve Tisch School of Film and Television at Tel Aviv University.

Pop Smoke: A Veteran Art Exhibition is a survey of veteran artists who utilize bright colors, basic shapes, commonplace images, or repetitive means of production within their art making practice. Several early Pop Movement artists served in the armed forces during WWII and the Korean War, including Roy Lichtenstein, Jasper Johns, and Richard Artschwager. This exhibition is a nod to those early veteran pop artists as we turn our attention to veteran artists who continue to use similar moods. By exploring veteran art making practices in ways that are playful, tongue in cheek and ironic, we consider the many different forms and artistic tones that poignant artistic expression can take. We also examine the multitudes of the veteran artist identity: Who is a veteran artist? And what is veteran art? The exhibition's title is a military slang term referring to throwing smoke grenades as a means of cover or escape during battle. The term "pop smoke" is also common slang that means "to leave a place". This exhibition is developed in partnership with The Veterans Art Project (VETART) and the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission (MHSOAC). Additional sponsorship support provided by Visit Oceanside. Follow on social media: Facebook + Instagram
