About
- Opening on 07/09 at 4pm -
The Fondation Thalie highlights multidisciplinary artistic practices, with an emphasis on the dialogue between visual arts and craftsmanship. Curated by Anissa Touati, the exhibit Warché, « worksite » in Arabic, is based on the personal history of Lina Ghotmeh, a Beyrouth native architect who defines herself as an archaeologist of the future, in dialogue with contemporary visual artists Emilija Škarnulytė and Sara Ouhaddou. For the foundation, Lina Ghotmeh is taking over the floor of the exhibition space with locally-sourced bricks, demonstrating her commitment to this bio sourced material. Conceived as an agora, a place for reflection and participatory exchange, the exhibit questions our relationship with time as a witness to our moments spent on earth and our interpretations of the city, whether political or poetic.
