Looking for present motion exhibition setup, at KED 2017.
Date: -September 2017 Location: -KED, Karantina ,Beirut Event: -Looking for present motion . Idea: -To combine painting, dance and sound -To show 29 paintings as minerals -To encourage an attitude of exploration. -To create opportunities of synchorinicty
Method: - An anti chamber greets visitors with a mic pointed towards them and a video projected in front of them. -Visitors ignite the playing of random pre recorded samples on the speakers of the exhibition space and the anti chamber through their interaction with the mic. -The video shows a butoh dance performance in the valley of Jannit Qartaba. -Left and right on the walls of the anti chamber are the texts of the artists. -A table with magnifying glasses placed on top invites people to use one in their exploration of the paintings. -The paintings were exhibited on stretched black velvet panels with a dedicated spotlight for each one. Making the panels light and easy to mount and dismount.
