"Free Reign: Blank To Basics" Posted: 03 Aug 2009 09:15 AM PDT Recurring Event First start: 2009-07-20 10:30:00 EEST Duration: 27000 Where: The Running Horse Event Status: confirmed Event Description: "Free Reign: Blank To Basics" Free Interpretations on a 100x70 cm white paper July 20 to August 15, 2009 Time: Mon-Sat 10:30am till 6:00pm Free Reign : Blank To Basics is a drawing and illustration challenge that aims to investigate the approach of "the sketch" with a specific outlook on its very nature: raw thoughts and pure paper. This exploration of medium will allow the void of the empty page to come to life, by restoring the primal nature of drawing.

Exhibition: "Rule of Three" Posted: 03 Aug 2009 09:03 AM PDT Recurring Event First start: 2009-08-24 10:30:00 EEST Duration: 27000 Where: The Running Horse Event Status: confirmed Event Description: "Rule of Three" Photographs by Youmna Habbouche August 24 through September 19, 2009 10:30am till 6:00pm Location: The Running Horse – Contemporary Art Space, Sleep Comfort Depot, Medawar District, Beirut Info: http://therunninghorseart.com "Rule of three" consists of Youmna Habbouche series of triptychs, illustrating various details of the daily life of the artist and her relationship to her surroundings. The use of the triptych format create unexpected alliances, both in terms of themes, and in terms of colors, textures, and the spatial arrangement of the different elements photographed." - Ziad Nawfal, curator Youmna Habbouche est née au Liban en 1982. Ayant poursuivi ses études supérieures à l'Université Notre-Dame, elle est diplômée en Arts Graphiques depuis 2003. Au cours de ses années de formation, Youmna s'est graduellement immergée dans le domaine de la photographie, grâce aux cours facultatifs qu'elle choisissait. Aussi, une fois obtenu son diplôme en Arts Graphiques, elle a décidé de s'investir davantage dans cette discipline, consacrant le plus clair de son temps à prendre des photos. Youmna compte à son actif plusieurs expositions et projets. Règle de trois (Par Ziad Nawfal, curateur) L'exposition de Youmna Habbouche consiste en des séries de triptyques de différentes tailles, illustrant divers détails de la vie quotidienne de l'artiste, et de sa relation avec le monde qui l'entoure. Les sujets traités varient entre scènes de vie libanaises (ou autres lieux), paysages naturels, paysages urbains, portraits, manifestations populaires, et autres… Le regard de Youmna se fait tantôt subjectif et impliqué, tantôt objectif et détaché. On décèle dans l'œil photographique de l'artiste une réelle et remarquable capacité à traduire les sentiments fugaces et impressions volatiles ressenties devant ses différents sujets. Le recours au format du triptyque permet à Youmna de trouver des alliances inattendues, tant au niveau des thèmes traités, qu'à celui des couleurs, des textures, et de la disposition spatiale des différents sujets photographiés. Elle arrive ainsi à joindre des éléments disparates, dont la connexion n'est pas évidente au premier abord, mais qui finissent par devenir un ensemble dense et harmonieux. 03.710.225 info@therunninghorseart.com

Horror is Universal (The End) Posted: 03 Aug 2009 05:54 AM PDT Recurring Event First start: 2009-08-05 20:00:00 EEST Duration: 7200 Where: Beirut Art Center Event Status: confirmed Event Description: A Video and Music Performance by Raed Yassin Wednesday August 5, 2009 at 8 pm Thursday August 6, 2009 at 8 pm Entrance: 15 000 LL Location: Beirut Art Center - Jisr El Wati - Off Corniche an Nahr. Building 13, Street 97, Zone 66 Adlieh. Beirut, Lebanon. Horror is Universal (The End) is Raed Yassin's latest multimedia saga involving the deconstruction of Arab popular culture. For the last five years Yassin has been undergoing a lifetime project of audio and visual sampling of TV, radio, pop songs, feature and documentary films. His previous projects include Ya Habibi Ta'ala (focusing on Tarab), Meeting the President and other pieces for Praed (his duo with Paed Conca), or the installation work The Best of Sammy Clark. This new piece, in its live version, is a milestone in his evolving work. Although composed, it requires his presence and energy for the multiple layers of information to blend in. Soundwise, a combination of turntables and electronics, microphone for singing, a collection of vintage hard to find LPs of popular Arabic music. He does not merely mix the sounds, he performs them, twisting every sample with a style that has become his own. On the screen, a video mixture of extracts from Egyptian films, reshaped and rearranged, abstracted, recurring such as musical elements to create a loose progression towards a final point. With Horror is Universal (The End), Raed Yassin sets a very high standard for all those interested in the "plunder" approach to all the mass media that have shaped our youth. http://lebrecord.com/?p=1305
