The exhibition consists of two seminal works: the award winning film Out (Tse) and the installation piece Live and Die as Eva Braun alongside a new artwork created especially for the window of Rivington Place.
Roee Rosen: Vile, Evil Veil contributes to the discussions about the Middle East which Iniva has explored through recent exhibitions and projects.
Roee Rosen: Vile, Evil Veil is presented by Iniva (Institute of International Visual Arts). The exhibition is curated by Hila Peleg (Berlin). Exhibition architecture by KUEHN MALVEZZI (Berlin / Milan).

PS1
Through innovative role-play Rosen stages the ethical dilemmas that underlie social reality in his native Israel, and beyond. In Live and Die as Eva Braun (1995-97) the spectator is invited to become the key character Eva Braun, Hitler’s lover, during the last days of the war. Live and Die as Eva Braun is an installation and a book, from which 66 works on paper and ten segments of text are on display.
PS2
Rosen’s award winning film Out (Tse) (34mins, 2010) is screened upstairs at Rivington Place. The film deals with boundaries between the body and state, alternative sexual practices and extremist politics. Using provocative imagery and language around power and religion Roee Rosen questions our ideas of history and identity. The public is advised that this film contains scenes of a sexual nature.
The artist
Roee Rosen (b. 1963) lives and works in Israel. Roee Rosen is one of the most influential artists in Israel, and is known not only as a virtuoso painter, but also as a novelist, a polemic intellectual, and an admired teacher.

Call for participants for artist-led workshops - capture Shoreditch on film!
We invite you to join us to revisit businesses interviewed in last year's Social Archive One project as well as meeting new residents to find out what changes they think the Olympics have brought in the 2nd instalment of Iniva’s Social Archive project.
There have been lots of developments in Shoreditch, including the opening of Boxpark shopping centre, Hackney House and several new shops popping up to take advantage of the Olympic traffic. But what do the locals think?
Artists Undocumentary (Shiraz Bayjoo and Jessica Harrington) will run workshops in which you will make films interviewing local people, contributing to an online archive.
The films created will be displayed in an exhibition at Rivington Place from 12 - 21 July and will be available to view online.
Watch films created in Social Archive One: An Economic Forecast (2011).
Workshops:
The format of the day includes a de-brief on the aims of the project, followed by the filming of a series of interviews with local residents, businesses and visitors. Groups are lead by the artists and you will be part of a small team of participants.
NB. You can book as many workshops as you wish, each takes the same format but deals with different subjects. This is not a filmmaking workshop; you will be working alongside the artists to create the films, rather than learning filmmaking techniques. Suitable for 16+.
