Self-Interrogation on Research-Based Art—in real life I was confused how to explain being an artist with two El Al security guards. I was referring to the notion of interdisciplinarity after unintentionally answering the series of questions somewhat differently and they noticed—about art and architecture. I suppose not convincing enough as an artist. In the airport after giving the names and telephone numbers of two Israelis the head of El Al security he went to another room and supposedly called an architect and the curator Galit Eilat to verify I was an artist. On the flight, the El Al security guard sat in the row in front and upon landing we briefly discussed art. He had a good sense of humor.

In real life I am sometimes confused how to explain being an artist. Like that story with two El Al security guards. I was referring to the notion of interdisciplinarity after unintentionally answering a series of questions somewhat differently and they noticed—about art and architecture.

In the airport after giving the names and telephone numbers of two Israelis the head of El Al security he went to another room and supposedly called an architect and the curator Galit Eilat to verify I was an artist. On the flight, the El Al security guard sat in the row in front and upon landing we briefly discussed art. He had a good sense of humor. Sort of reminded me of the old joke ‘Why do you tell me you are going to Cracow so I’ll believe you are going to Lvov, when you are really going to Cracow.’
