Homegrown
Four Artists React to Ticho House and Its Garden

- Ticho House
It all starts from a single source, a point of origin. In Homegrown, it is Ticho House that is the source of inspiration for the four projects that comprise the current exhibition. Through various artistic disciplines – painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, sound, video, and animation – the exhibition shows how artists use a place and its narrative to create site-specific artworks. From the locus of house and garden, the works developed and grew to address growth, organic and inorganic expansion, historical and current time. Einat Amir, Orly Maiberg, Elinor Sahm, and Yifeat Ziv each take a different aspect of the house as their point of departure – from the walls themselves, through the garden, to Anna Ticho’s art works, to a story about Dr Ticho and one of his patients.
Homegrown is an exhibition of observation, of finding a moment of stillness to stop, look, and listen. How do the things we see and hear, even feel through the vibrations of the house, relate to our experience in it? What is the story being told? Is it personal, like the love story of Elinor Sahm’s grandparents? Is it a response to Anna Ticho’s art, as expressed through Orly Maiberg’s painterly process? Are we responding to Yifaet Ziv’s voice acting as a conduit for the vibrations and frequencies of the building's inanimate features? Is it a moment to relax and look at the sky through the leaves of the trees in the garden, only to realize that we are seeing a simulacrum created by Einat Amir – a reflection in pools scattered on the ground?
The exhibition was made possible by the Ticho House Fund; Jerusalem Municipality, Department of Culture and Art; The Jerusalem Foundation; Outset Contemporary Art Fund; and a gift from Jill and Jay Bernstein to American Friends of the Israel Museum
