Artis

Tamy Ben-Tor is a video and performance artist. The holocaust and its denial are frequent themes of her performances.  In the Village Voice, Jerry Saltz explained how “the Holocaust is alive in Ben-Tor's raw, awkward, cutting work. It isn't confined to a set of academic gestures or hackneyed responses.” A review of her 2005 show at Zach Feuer Gallery by Ken Johnson in The New York Times noted “her chameleonesque ability to transform herself into hilarious characters” in order to touch on more serious topics. She was also Slate.com’s artist of the month in December 2005 and her performance Judensau was presented at Performa 07.
