Exhibitions//"Shunra" A Typology of a Cat by Yaakov Kaufman
"Shunra" A Typology of a Cat by Yaakov Kaufman

The exhibition included about 3,000 illustrations of cats, all drawn by designer Yaakov Kaufman. Kaufman described some of the illustrations as "cats that would have not been considered cats unless they were presented surrounded by other cats". The exhibition invited visitors to witness and understand the process of studying a certain image and its creation. What elements define a certain image as an image of a cat? Can a cat still be considered a cat without ears, and do two legs and a tail transform an abstract creation into a cat?
Kaufman  dedicated the exhibition to two people: Noa Harel, whom the first 40 drawings were made especially for her birthday and to Alex, the 13 years old Kaufman's family Cat.
