Know Hope, from the now demolished Kolnoa Allenby, Tel Aviv (2013)

Kolnoa Allenby was built in 1937 as a movie theater by and for the German-Jewish refugees who sought to erect the New Berlin on the shores of the Mediterranean.  The cinema went dark in the 1990's and was replaced by a state-of-the-art discotheque, The Allenby, full with a kickass sound system, a top-notch DJ—DJ Choopie—in residence, and even a bouncer outside.

According to one clubber of the 90's "More than just a club, the Allenby, as we called, was a demilitarized zone, a safe space where you could forget all about the realities of the outside world"

The club was operational until 2015,and the building, a Bauhaus masterpiece was demolished last year.

The tag was written by now famous Israeli street artist, Adam Yekutieli, aka Know Hope in his debut. 

The Artist is primarily known for his iconography made under the pseudonym Know Hope. Yekutieli is a prominent figure in Israeli street-art culture, more recently exhibiting in galleries and museums internationally using ready-made materials, mixed media pieces, photographs, videos and text. Yekutieli has undertaken community and long-term projects in the form of Social Practice art, that deal with ideas of re-contextualization and dialogue through public space.
