The Unifiedfield In Beirut

The UnifiedField is a never-for-profit art space/artist-run collective focusing on the most experimental aspects of sound, video and performance art. Previously based in Yogyakarta (Indonesia), it moved to a cave in Granada (Spain) .

Marta Moreno Muñoz (Spain, 1978) is a performance and video artist with a background in experimental theater and other time-based arts. Her work has focused predominantly on feminine subjectivity, dissolution of the ego and the notion of pre-oedipal nostalgia in response to a patriarchal and undesirable reality. She is at present in a transitional stage, shifting towards the conceptualization of larger-scale projects exploring the complex interchange between performance art and cinematic language. Currently based in Granada (Spain), she is working on personal projects as well as co-directing with Marc Chia the experimental art space The UnifiedField.

Wormholes is an ongoing audio-visual project by Mazen Kerbaj and Sharif Sehnaoui, two Lebanese free improvising musicians who have been working and playing together since the late 1990’s. In 2008, Kerbaj devised an ingenious set-up which allows him to draw in a live setting, using a luminous glass panel coated with acetate, an overhead projector, and a reversed camera. While he draws miscellaneous shapes and forms, sometimes precise, oftentimes blurred, and augments them with plastic add-ons and random effects (such as blowing on the panel with a pipe), Sehnaoui operates his guitar percussively, with lines that are heavy and forceful in places, and sparse and muted in others. Although the two men start the piece in unison, not much correspondence occurs at later stages of the performance, between the music and the drawing. Points of interference are accidental, and much is left to the audience’s imagination.
