Screenings

Exit Through the Gift Shop at Beirut Art Center

Wednesday, Oct 24, 2012
8:00pm -> 9:30pm
Beirut Art Center

In conjunction with the exhibition, White Wall, Beirut Art Center is hosting a screening program around the international graffiti scene and its history. This time, they’ll be screening a movie by graffiti artist Banksy.

This film tells the story of an eccentric French shopkeeper who spent time and energy trying to locate Banksy, the infamously mysterious but equally popular, English street artist, whose work usually gets discovered in the morning, suddenly, on the walls of a new city. From the Wall of Separation in Palestine, to post-hurricane New Orleans, Banksy’s reputation as a satirical and subversive artist is reaching a wider audience from around the globe.

Entrance fee: 3,000 LL

Because of limited seating, it is advised to book in advance by calling the Beirut Art Center on 01.397.018.
Reserved seats will be held until 15 minutes before the event begins.
