Artist Naama Tsabar has just transformed a museum into an enormous musical instrument. The interdisciplinary artist’s site-responsive installation, at MARTE Contemporary in San Salvador, entitled Propagation (Opus 3), extends from floor to ceiling, comprised of strings, pickups, amplifiers, cables, and speakers, embedded within the architecture of the gallery space. Like a hybrid between a guitar and a piano, the strings can be plucked or percussed, and the sound travels through the innards of the museum’s walls, resounding in, around, and throughout the space.

This video demonstrates Naama Tsabar’s installation, Propagation (Opus 3), in action at the opening of her exhibition Marte Contemporary in San Salvador. "The idea is that everyone can imagine and make sounds, without needing to know how to play the instrument. For me it is an artwork that opens the borders for people to experiment and think outside the box," Tsabar says.

Born 1982, Israel; lives and works in New York.
Tsabar creates installations, performances, and environments that examine the charged spaces and multisensory zones of nightlife and their associations with notions such as freedom, excess, and escape. Her work treats the venues themselves as structures of power, enabling a display of fantasy, sexuality, and bravado, as well as providing a shelter from the realities of the outside world. Addressing the implicit gender roles and coded behavior of music and nightlife, Tsabar appropriates and subverts the aggressive gestures of rock and roll and their associations with virility and power. Informed by her experiences as a musician in a punk band and as a bartender, Tsabar probes the culture of rock music from multiple angles, channeling the decadence of urban night culture and its association with danger, seduction, and subversion.
Moreover, many of the structures Tsabar creates recall the monumental forms of Modernist sculpture, actively drawing upon its legacy of the figure of the heroic male artist. Tsabar re-interprets these sculptural forms, undermining their masculine associations: her work incorporates soft fabrics, bright colors, and ephemeral materials that will break down and lose their shape, such as tape, liquid, and rubber, contrasting with the colossal forms and implied permanence of Minimalism.
Naama Tsabar selected exhibitions include in 2010 Greater New York, Moma/P.S.1, New York; The Young Israelis, Leslley Heller Workspace, New York; Sweet, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Tel Aviv; JaffaCakes TLV, Rove Gallery, London; in 2009History of Violence, Haifa Museum of Art, Israel; Sweat (1), Focus- Artforum, Berlin;Now Silence, Gallery 39, Tel Aviv; Dark Rooms/Homme Made, Daneyal Mahmood Gallery, New York; in 2008 Night Falls, Pianissimo Gallery, Milan; A New Way of Seeing, Städtische Galerie, Bremen; The Bucharest Biennale for Young Artists, Romania; and in 2007 Encore, Dvir Gallery, Tel Aviv; Passing The Batonette, Haifa Museum, Israel. Naama Tsabar works with Dvir Gallery in Tel Aviv , Pianissimo in Milan and Thierry Goldberg in New York.
