Exposure 2014

As a part of its initiative to promote innovative talent, Beirut Art Center (BAC) is organizing its annual group show for the sixth consecutive year. 

Unlike previous editions of the exhibition, Exposure 2014 will be a curated exhibition that revolves around a specific theme. The theme of the show will be “under construction,” in reference to the participating artists and the early stage at which they are building their practice. It also refers to Beirut, a city in a continuous process of transformation; its landscape is regularly destroyed, rebuilt, hence redrawn. The show will deal with the idea of being in a constant construction in various fields: building the landscape, building the self, as well as building the artwork. The word ‘construction’ is to be understood here as a process of metamorphosis, whether it is linked to the notion of progress, destruction or entropy.

BAC, together with a jury invited for the occasion, selected the artists who will participate in the exhibition based on the quality of their work. This year's members of the jury were Monira al Solh, Sam Bardaouil, Till Fellrath, Jim Quilty, and Kirsten Scheid. Marie Muracciole, BAC’s new director will curate the show.
