Yaara Zach

Yaara Zach (b. 1984) lives and works in Tel Aviv. A multidisciplinary artist, Zach has been a lecturer at Shenkar College since 2017 and has been represented by Givon Art Gallery since 2018. She holds an MFA from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design (2011).
Zach is the recipient of the 2022 Ann and Ari Rosenblatt Prize for Visual Art and has received support from institutions including Artport, Artis, Asylum Arts, Outset, Mifal HaPayis, and the Rabinovich Foundation. Her work has been exhibited extensively at venues such as the Moscow Biennale for Young Art, the Brno House of Arts (Czech Republic), the Berardo Collection Museum (Lisbon), the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, and the Israel Museum.
Among her notable projects are the solo exhibition Metal Tongue (2025) at the Bezalel Gallery; The First Year (2023), presented at CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo and Artwall Gallery (Prague); and the solo show Unreasonable Doubt at the Petach Tikva Museum of Art. Her work is held in prestigious collections including the Israel Museum, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the POC Brussels Art Collection, and the Ahuvi Art Collection.
Operating at the intersection of sculpture, installation, and performance, Zach’s practice utilizes a diverse range of materials - from industrial metal to organic matter. Through these, she examines the relationship between the physical body and both private and collective narratives, exploring the tensions between the individual and the group. Her practice often exposes underlying power dynamics through heavy, loaded materiality and site-specific interventions.
