yaacov kaufman: 'clothes peg iconography'


peg collectors gad charny and yoav ziv with exhibition organizer yaacov kaufman

an exhibition from the collections of yoav ziv and
gad charny, curated jointly with yaacov kaufman,
and exhibited at his studio. the exhibition contains
nearly 300 pegs, old and new, from all over the
world.

a daily, mundane, banal object, which we all seem
to posses, though we rarely look at. the ‘silent
servants’..... an object so basic yet so useful,
that has the quality of serving many functions in
addition to it's original one. it can be used to hang
stuff, to hold, to fasten, endless number of
uses, almost as versatile as the office clip.
