White City Studies

In November 2019, Salon Mlle Mars in Brooklyn presented the works of Rebecca Chamberlain and Yasaman Esmaili, of Studio Chahar. 

Rebecca Chamberlain is a painter whose work focuses on the essential human need for physical safety and spiritual refuge. She explores the role of modernist architecture and interiors as a key tactic of human invention for this purpose. Her current work focuses on The White City, in Tel Aviv. In the 1930’s, upon the closure of the Bauhaus, a disproportionate amount of architects arrived in exile in Tel Aviv and established practices. This neighborhood, with all its inherent controversy, remains the largest physical archive of “Bauhaus” architecture in the world.
