Two Exhibitions Recast Roee Rosen as His Generation’s Irresponsible Adult

Two new exhibitions are using Roee Rosen’s work to frame him as a provocateur and, in the headline’s formulation, the “irresponsible adult” of his generation. The piece presents this as the central idea behind the shows, which revisit his artistic output and the public image built around it.

The article is embedded in a broader culture roundup and also mentions the death of singer and songwriter Esther Shamir at age 71. It notes that the final episodes of “Euphoria” and “The Ex” destroyed what had been carefully built before them.

Another item says a publisher was deeply worried about a book, with legal counsel flagging 400 sentences in the manuscript. The roundup also reports that one of the biggest pop stars in the Arab world was convicted of rape, though his performance is still set to go ahead as planned.

Additional brief items describe a construction waste site that was turned into an urban park with an impressive viewpoint, a sponsored note on choosing coffee, and opinion pieces on topics including Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Middle East map, Donald Trump’s treatment of world leaders, and relationship frustration across an ideological divide. The roundup also highlights recommendations and personal essays about an album, genocide, and a partner’s fascination with Russian women.
