About

Rona Stern (b.1984) traces the imagery of the everyday, the decorative, the historic, and the commercially abundant, all of which become ubiquitous in their reproduction in public space. Applying the syntax of marketing and commercial language within a formal sculptural practice, she reconfigures these images, disassembling the realm of the spectacular consumed by the masses, and reinventing the monumental.

Stern is currently undertaking postgraduate studies (Meisterschüler) at HGB, Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig, DE, supported by a 2-year DAAD German academic exchange service scholarship. She holds a B.Ed. FA from Hamidrasha School of Art, Beit Berl (2011) where she graduated with honors. Stern has been invited to participate in international artist-in-residence programs including, Tobacna 001 culture center in Ljubljana, SL (2018); Meet Factory, Prague, CZ (2017); Yarat contemporary art space, Baku, AZ (2017); and Artist Unlimited, Bielefeld, DE (2017).

Recent solo exhibitions include Those who cannot remember the past are destined to repeat it, Tobacna 001 culture center SL (2018); From north to south we come from east and west, Artist Unlimited Gallery, Bielefeld, DE (2017), Keep Calm at Klubovna Gallery, Brno, CZ (2017), In the Middle of the East at Büro für kulturelle Übersetzungen Gallery, Leipzig, DE (2016), Oasis at Hezi Cohen Gallery, Tel Aviv, IL (2015). Select group exhibitions include: Action-Line: The 7th Biennale for Drawing, Jerusalem Artists’ House, IL (2019) and Künstlerhaus Sootbörn, Hamburg, DE (2018).
