Biography
Attoun graduated from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, where she received her BFA in 1997 and an MFA in 2006. She is a lecturer at Shenkar College of Engineering and Design, Ramat-Gan.[1]
Career
In 2007, Attoun took part in the The Finalists Exhibition and the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, for the the Nathan Gottesdiener Foundation Israel Art Prize 2008. The exhibition included: Maya Attoun, Michal Helfman, and Gil Marco Shani. The work of these three artists together was significant because they extended from painting to installation. [11] Attoun’s piece within the exhibit was titled Between Dog and Wolf (Entre Chien et Loup), 2007.
In 2015, Attoun had a solo show in Givon Art Gallery in Tel Aviv titled Half Full. The curator was Tali Ben-Nun. For the exhibition, Attoun completely changed the interior of the gallery, building walls and corridors to resemble a house. The space is made to look like a “half full״ apartment, where in which the viewer is made to assume the dweller has left the premise of the property, but some of their belongings remain. [7] The show was highly reviewed, including write-ups from Gideon Ofrat. [8][9][10]
In 2017, Attoun had a solo show in the Haifa Museum of Art titled Lover’s Eye. The show comprised of twenty-five framed eye drawings. The drawings allude to the 18th century eye miniatures of “Lovers’ Eyes,” usually painted with watercolor on ivory or parchment. In Europe, these miniatures were worn as jewellery; secret lovers posses such accessories bearing reproductions of their lovers’ eye.[4][5]
Attoun created a site-specific piece for the Manofim Contemporary Art Festival in Jerusalem titled My Heart is Full of Longing (2017).
Attoun recently published an Artist book, titled Weekly Planner 2018 where she revisits the year of 1818. The book marks the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein — hybridizing the two years through monochromatic drawings akin to old manuscripts, etchings and prints. [2]
