Yoav’s work was featured, written on and published in magazines, art journals and websites across three continents and he has given public
lectures/artists talks in art schools, universities and galleries in The United States and Europe.
Yoav Horesh B/W and color photographs have been dealing with conflict, human tragedy, memory and recovery in Europe, Asia and America since 2001. His deep interest in the history of “sites” led him to explore close and far locations in search for cultural clues and personal histories. His evolving practice has grown from “street photography” to large format landscapes, interiors and portraits that open up the discussion between present and history. His projects also took place in the American
South-west, Germany, Laos, Israel, the Gaza Strip and Cambodia, where history still shapes and influences current events and life.
Yoav’s work is included in many private and public collections including The Addison Gallery for American Art and The Museum of New Art in Michigan. Horesh has received various awards, commissions and grants including the Agnes Martin Award, The Projektraum-Bahnhof25 residency award and the Mortimer Frank Grant.
Since completing his MFA from Columbia University in 2005, Yoav has been teaching in numerous universities in the United States, Hong Kong, Europe and in Israel.
