+Israel © MEA 20170301 (N004) -Life in Jerusalem -Art and Artists-1
Jerusalem, like many other interesting cities of the world, has its unique history, art, culture and literature. During the summer and many holidays, the Mamilla Mall Shopping Centre hosts free concerts, street performers, folk dancing and family activities. The Mamilla Mall is the only open air mall in Jerusalem, which is located north east of the Jaffa Gate, Old City. The theme for this sculpture exhibition centres on the Arts, dancing, music and drama and all pieces are created by local artists and most are for sale.
As we walked through, what is known as Alrov Mamilla Avenue, we paused to consider the variety of human activity amongst the sophisticated sculptures. The street performer on the left is taking a break from juggling and making balloons to check his phone. To the right, a woman in blue sits for a short while to use her phone. The woman sitting on her right is a bronze model who appears to be resting from a dance-practice session, and in a pose where her eyes seem to be focused on her hand in much the same way as the woman beside her. Over the next few weeks, other pictures of sculpture and art will be featured on Picture of the Week, so make sure you take a few moments to check it out.
