Know Hope

Art Brokerage: Know Hope Israeli Artist: b. 1986. Addam Yekutieli a.k.a. Know Hope (1986) is an artist primarily known for his iconography made under the pseudonym Know Hope. Yekutieli is a prominent figure in Israeli street-art culture, more recently exhibiting in galleries and museums internationally using ready-made materials, mixed media pieces, photographs, videos and text. Yekutieli has undertaken community and long-term projects in the form of Social Practice art, that deal with ideas of re-contextualization and dialogue through public space. Yekutieli started exhibiting his work in the streets of Tel Aviv in early 2005. His pseudonym Know Hope began appearing next to his most common long-arms and long-legged unisex character. A couple of years after the INSIDE JOB, a street-art group show in the Helena Rubenstein Pavilion for Contemporary Art, Yekutieli began exhibiting in early 2013 in one of Israel's most prominent galleries Gordon Gallery. That same year, Yekutieli also started working with Steve Lazarides and his London-based gallery Lazarides Rathbone. In 2014 Yekutieli took part in a group exhibit in the Roskilde Museum of Contemporary Art. In 2014, parallel to his iconography work that by now has developed to include a repetitive use of white-flags, birds, wood, and fences, Yekutieli began working on long term ongoing projects.
