| Bio.
A colleague once described Elyasaf
Kowner as one who "seems to convert anything to art, design,
documentary or other creative gold." [Shual]
Kowner's work has been shown worldwide, starting with his
New York graffiti project E.K. Paris (1994). Since then his
work has been exhibited in Art in General, New York (2002),
the Tel Aviv museum (2003), World Wide Video Festival, Amsterdam
(2004), WRO Fesitval, Wroclaw, Poland (2005), Herzliya museum
(2006), Israel museum (2007) and participated in international
DVD releases such as Bizz Circuits play Intifada Offspring,
Mille Plateaux (Germany, 2004), ffwd_mag, Invernomuto (Italy,
2005). Kowner also published two photography books, Car Portraits
(2002) and Facing the Wishes (2007).
His graffiti work appeared in the weekly Village Voice (1994)
and in the book Stencil Graffiti (Thames & Hudson, 2002).
In 1999 he won the Sandberg award for After My Death
project at the Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem.
Since 2000 Kowner has been teaching photography and graphic
design in leading academic institutions in Israel. He has
created a group of Jewish new year cards (Shana Tova) in flickr.com
and in 2008 moved to Afiqua studio,
a space for collaborative work and creative thought.
