At Apexart, in Tribeca, a group exhibit examines the walls that divide us -- literally. Gisele Amantea's 2010 piece, 'Barbed Wire (Berlin, 1961)' is shown above.

In a show that is all about division, the state of Israeli-Palestinian politics receives plenty of attention -- as in Kader Attia's 2008 photograph, 'Le Vide, le plein [Void, Fullness].'

Even a sculpture made of pillows can seem divisive in a show whose context is walls. Seen here: Israeli-born artist Leor Grady's 2007/11 installation 'Untitled (Wall).'
