Assi / Joseph MEIDAN
1987/Ongoing
Working between object, space, and material research. His practice focuses on transformation — observing how materials shaped by construction, use, and time can be redirected through minimal intervention.
His work often begins with situations encountered in everyday environments: construction sites, industrial components, or standardized building systems. Through processes of collection, assembly, and displacement, these elements are recontextualized without erasing their origin.
Moving between unique pieces and evolving systems, his projects explore the moment where functional structures shift into objects of domestic or spatial presence. Light, support, and construction recur as central themes, approached as ongoing investigations rather than fixed forms.
Alongside independent works, he develops Brut Hardware, a modular aluminum framework conceived as an open structure capable of adapting across furniture, exhibition, and architectural contexts.

GDP - Assi Joseph Meidan
Gross domestic product (GDP) is a monetary measure of the market value of all final goods and services produced in a period (quarterly or yearly).
In this showcase, GDP has taken another interpretation for the literal meaning, the Domestic Product becomes one that potentially can be found within our domicile while living in it or prior to it as a construction site.
With primary gestures these found and common construction materials are manipulated to create new forms and possibilities inspired by the building and other pillar of our society, in this case, religion and memorials.
By editing-in a basic function using a light bulb, the unusual assemblage of objects posing questions about the boarders of design and art in a back and forth manner, and suggesting other functions to increase the conversation such mentioned before.
The show is based on a commentary of the artist on social structures and corporations with architects, It will last at of Nazareth for one month and will be changing and transferring during this time by the artist.
