Naama Tsabar

Born 1982, Israel. Lives and works in New York, USA.

Naama Tsabar’s multidisciplinary practice fuses sculpture, music, performance, and architecture, often collaborating with local communities of female-identifying and gender non-conforming performers. Through these collaborations, she constructs a new feminist and queer history of mastery, creating works that expose hidden spaces and systems, reimagine gendered narratives, and transform passive spectatorship into active participation. Her art draws attention to the unseen and muted, propagating sound through space and sculptural form. Hovering between sculpture and instrument, form and sound, Tsabar’s work explores the intimate, sensual, and corporeal potentials of these transitional states.

Tsabar has held over 20 solo exhibitions worldwide, including at The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum (Hartford, Connecticut, US), Bass Museum (Miami, US), Nasher Museum of Art (Duke, North Carolina, US), Guggenheim Museum (New York, US), and Tel Aviv Museum of Art (Tel Aviv, Israel). She has participated in numerous major group exhibitions, including at the Center for Contemporary Art (Tel Aviv, Israel), Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens (Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium), Extracity Kunsthal (Antwerp, Belgium), MoMA PS1 (New York, US), Bucharest Biennale for Young Artists (Bucharest, Romania), and Hamburger Bahnhof (Berlin, Germany). Her performances have been presented at The Watermill Center Gala Benefit (New York, US), DO DISTURB Festival at Palais de Tokyo (Paris, France), and The High Line Art (New York, US, 2024).
