Promised Land (Gelobtes Land), about Ury’s family and the problematic of Israeli politics, encompasses art works and biographies that scrutinise Israel's history: 2 perspectives from 2 generations of different eras, the contemporary view and the biblical with creative license. 1. Tanya Ury an Anglo/German, Jewish artist writing and making art about the Shoah and its aftermath while living in Germany, tells her story. 2. Sylvia Ury’s story as told by Tanya. Sylvia fled with her Jewish parents from Nazi Germany to England as a child. As a young woman, in Palestine she decided to stay and fight in the War of Independence in Palestine; hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were displaced during the Israeli/Arab wars of 1948 and 1967, who still wish to return to and live in Israel. 3. Bezalel Ben Uri is the artist who constructed the holy objects for Moses’ new monotheist God while still almost a child. 4. In this imagined tale, Uri ben Hur suspects that his son Bezalel may have assisted Aaron, Moses’ brother, in the creation of the golden calf. Uri points out the inconsistencies in Moses’ Law when promoting the case for murder and acquisition of another’s property in the conquest of the Promised Land. Tanya Ury |
