Severed Connections: Do what I say or they will kill you [Yishay Garbasz](https://feldmangallery.com/artist-home/yishay-garbasz) May 8 – Jun 12, 2015 ![Garbasz Hero Image 1](/assets/hero_images/_1600x800_crop_top-center_75_none/2893/garbasz-hero-image_1.jpg) Yishay Garbasz The all seperating the Al-Quds University, 2004 Description Yishay Garbasz, a British-Israeli artist, will exhibit Severed Connections: Do what I say or they will kill you, a body of work based on her travels to Korea, the West Bank, and Belfast. In each of these locations, barriers exist as single lines of defense to separate warring groups living in close proximity. Through photography, video, and sculpture, the artist conceptualizes the architecture of separation with an anthropologist’s sensibility. Garbasz challenges the assumption that good fences make good neighbors, maintaining that severing connections between groups creates a culture of fear that allows a government to control its people.
