Art In Labor Exhibition at AUB Byblos Bank Art Gallery
Join the AUB Byblos Bank Art Gallery in Ada Dodge Hall as it hosts its opening ceremony and its first exhibition called “Art in Labor Skill”. The exhibition will showcase the works of art of Georges Daoud Corm, Saliba Douaihy, John Carswell, Ghassan El Hajj, Khalid Hamza, Haitham Hassan, Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Mahmoud Khaled, Mohammad El Rawas, Gregory Sholette, Hito Steyerl, Rachid Wehbi, and Vera Yeramian.
The newly opened AUB Byblos Bank Art Gallery offers the opportunity to set up a miniature art critical field, a mini-laboratory, that will allow you to better grasp the transformation of artistic labor over the past hundred years.
This field lies at an art historical and aesthetic crossroads: between artistic tradition and innovation; artisanal manual skill and rational or conceptual form; expression (or mimetic behavior) and construction. Each artwork has been selected with the intention to reveal something about the dynamics of this field—in addition, of course, to testifying to its own laws of form.
