Exhibition | Ilya & Emilia Kabakov: Tomorrow We Fly Tel Aviv Museum of Art

Ilya and Emilia Kabakov worked together as an artist duo in their Long Island home-studio from the late 1980s until Ilya’s passing in May 2023. They are best known for their ambitious total installations—autonomous “sets” installed in museum halls, comprising architectural elements and paintings. Surrounding their visitors with visual and auditory stimuli, they furnish them with a direct, unmediated experience with another reality, largely drawn from everyday life in the post-Stalinist Soviet Union (Curator: Shahar Molcho).
