Color plays an important role in facilitating our understanding of reality and our capacity to categorize it various elements – ranging from biological indicators such as skin, hair or eye color to national symbols such as a flag, passport or ID card and to commercial brands or sports groups. Color can transform us into members of a given group. At the same time, it can also make us stand out among others.
“Color at the Design Museum Holon” explores how we understand, perceive and interpret color and colorfulness, which are usually specific to a particular time and place, tradition and culture. The exhibition examines the ways in which colors envelop objects, are integrated into them, or become objects in their own right, as well as the process through which colors come to be identified with a group, a nation, or even an abstract idea or value.
