Addam Yekutieli^USA

Addam Yekutieli (b. 1986, USA) is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist based in Israel-Palestine whose work explores cross-cultural encounters, memory, and the entanglement of historical and personal narratives.

Working across mixed media, installation, photography, text, and public interventions, his practice places particular emphasis on anguage and its interaction with place and environment. For nearly two decades, Yekutieli has facilitated participatory projects with ommunities worldwide, with a sustained focus on work in Israel-Palestine.

His work engages the intersections of the collective, the personal, and the political, employing an aesthetic of ambiguity aimed at fostering intuitive and empathetic connections, and opening space for re-imagining broader social and political realities.

Yekutieli has presented solo and group exhibitions internationally at galleries such as Gordon Gallery (Tel Aviv), Lazarides Gallery (London), and Catinca Tabacaru Gallery (New York), and has been featured in institutional exhibitions at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Musée d’art contemporain de Lyon, and the Roskilde Museum of Contemporary Art.

His work is held in the permanent collections of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the Israel Museum (Jerusalem), and the Museum of Contemporary and Urban Art (Munich), as well as in prominent private collections.

In 2025, the documentary film Know Hope: The Abstract and the Very Real, directed by Omer Shamir, was released to critical acclaim. The film documents Yekutieli’s practice and long-term projects, offering a portrait of an artist reckoning with his position within the political and power dynamics of the land, and using art as a tool for witnessing, mobilization, and resistance in a time of annihilation.
