1:1 Center for Art and Politics is a home for a series of exhibitions, a trans-disciplinary event program, talks, screenings, courses, workshops and actions in public space. The center encourages a new examination of all the fundamental values and conceptual institutions at the base of modern autonomous art, primarily ownership, authorship and spectatorship. The center is a lighthouse for the freedom of speech and political and civic commitment, a site of theory and praxis promoting the use values of artistic competence, researches new economies and urbanisms, and paints on its flag the love for the foreign and strange, courage and the joy of renewal, with respect for every live being.

Between 2018 and 2020, 1:1 Center operated in a three-story building at 4 Hasharon Street in the South Tel Aviv neighbourhood of Neve Shaanan, which served as a non-profit independent complex for art, culture and education, operated by Marcel Art Projects NPO. The complex included artist studios, as well as a rehearsal and performance hall. In addition, the center was home to the ARDC (the African Refugee Development Center); the Israeli-African Theater founded by Dr. Yaffa Schuster; Atur Mitzheh, a non-profit organization that supports sex workers and drug users; the Neve Shaanan Archive founded by Chen Sharabi, and Marcel Art Projects.

The center closed down in December 2020 in the midst of a succession of coronavirus-related lockdowns. 1:1 continues operating in different forms and frameworks.
