Peter Greenaway on his project "Heavy Water", on "Ha'yanshufim" Israel TV Channel 8, Monday 14.11.11

Peter Greenaway talks with Modi Bar-On about his new spectacular project HEAVY WATER, a multimedia project by Change Performing Arts, at Chelocuhe Gallery, Tel Aviv.

Heavy Water, Greenaway's new project at Chelouche Gallery, is a theatrical and dramatic mix of sound, painting, drawing and video, accompanied by the issue of an art book. It elicits apocalyptic thoughts and contains an ostensibly prophetic warning concerning nuclear proliferation and the future of our planet. Obtained by an artificial process, heavy water is used as coolant and moderator in nuclear reactors. The melting of icebergs is likewise caused by human intervention in nature. These two catastrophes—of fire and water—threaten to strike before long.

Chelouche Gallery has chosen to celebrate the first anniversary at its new location with this innovative project which implements the Gallery's vision to host special site-specific projects. The exhibition marks the culmination of an ongoing collaboration between Peter Greenaway and and Nira Itzhaki, the Chelouche Gallery's curator and owner.
