Nir Alon
Nir Alon ( Hebrew ניר אלון; * 1964 ) is an Israeli sculptor and installation artist.
Alon studied from 1988 to 1992 at the Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem and was an assistant there until 1993. In 1996 he received the Young Artist Prize from the Israel Ministry of Education and Culture. In 1998 he was able to take part in an exchange exhibition in Hamburg , and in 2001 he received a scholarship to be an artist in Harburg . Since then he has lived and worked in Hamburg, where he teaches design at the University of Applied Sciences . He had solo exhibitions in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv , Schwerin , Bonn , Mannheim , Frankfurt am Main and Hamburg ( Kampnagel 2005).
He preferably develops his sculptures from discarded everyday objects such as furniture, suitcases, lamps, light bulbs and cables, whereby the installations are put together directly at the exhibition location and in relation to it. In this way he achieves a haunting effect with the most economical means.
His works are in museums and private collections in Germany , Israel , Italy and the USA .
In September 2019, with over 250 authors, he criticized the city of Dortmund for awarding the Nelly Sachs Prize to the writer Kamila Shamsie for supporting the controversial BDS campaign ( Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel), which the jury did not discuss was informed, had revoked.
