ROLEPLAY 2000, Art of a housewife 

At the core of the exhibition Kitzis places her own character: a married woman, a mother, tired and worn out from the daily domestic family routine. RolePlay 2000, Art of a housewife  was created after dealing with a personal marital crisis following the birth of her third child. Kitzis deals with this crisis in a creative and humorous way, incorporating her real life partner, Doron Hamburger.  

“Role Play 2000” is a first aid fantasy kit, designed to help married couples to rejuvenate their dying sex life . The kit helps any couple to rediscover their most inner fantasies and re-act them in their own homes by using custom-made props, costumes, scripts and videos. In a form of a 90’s infomercial TV show, Kitzis and her husband share their own story and demonstrate to the audience how the kit changed their bedroom life forever.

Action Space:

RolePlay 2000, Art of a housewife is the third exhibition of the annual theme of 2020, which is dedicated to exhibitions relating to the concept Action Space.

The year 2020 at Alfred Gallery will focus on examining the concept exhibition space and expanding its initial definition. At the dawn of the third decade of the 21st century, we seek to challenge the traditional conception of exhibitions and exhibition spaces, and to re-examine their role in the artistic field. Upon reaching 15 years of activity, the Alfred cooperative members seek to open a practical discussion around these issues and try to redefine our mission as a collaborative gallery and as an art and cultural institute. This year the gallery will focus on exhibiting projects and exhibitions that focus on collaborations that reflect on transitions between mediums and disciplines.
