Bio
Lilac Madar (born 1975, Haifa) earned her BFA in photography from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem (2000). Holds an MA degree in Art history research from Tel Aviv University (2014) and completed an art teaching degree from Kerem Institute, Jerusalem (2018).
Madar’s works are based on the strategies of Dada and Pop Art: collage, ready-made, and references to mass culture. She uses found objects and repurposes them into assemblages, sculptures and installations. While dealing with social and political issues, her works are witty, sarcastic, and humorous.
The nature of her art oftentimes requires the engagement and participation of the viewers. In her last project, featured at the School of Visual Arts in New York, she addressed the American dream through an installation and performance surrounding a large string flag.
Madar exhibits internationally. Her works are included in museum and private art collections. She received numerous scholarships and is a collage researcher and educator. She is now working on various exhibitions and projects.
