Liberty Tower

During my time as artist inresidence here in Sutherland, many things have happened. It seems a very long time ago that I was waking every day and returning every night to hear of the steady destruction of a country that was my home for a time. Although I did not create a work that overtly connected my residenncy here in the Highlands and my pre occupation with the events in Lebanon, I continued to address the conflict in my own way. Evacuation, passage by sea and distance are themes that connect the works, and both will be shown on the 14th. This video work, named Liberty Tower will also be shown in the exhibition Nafas, which will open in Beirut on Thursday aswell as being part of the blog work, Lebanon These Days.

Liberty Tower, a magnificent twelve story building, where all offices boast spectacular views of the city below.
Ideally located in Hamra, the main city center of Beirut, the Centre is within easy reach of the capital's principal hotels, stores, restaurants, banks and government offices. It is easily accessible with parking facilities within the building and all around it too.

Espace SD and xanadu* are happy to invite you to the opening of

Nafas Beirut
A platform for artists bearing witness

The opening will take place at Espace SD Thursday the 12th of October 2006 at 6pm

Nafas Beirut is a platform for artists, poets, writers and filmmakers to share their work produced during or in reaction to the Israeli siege of Lebanon of Summer 2006. Believing it crucial to highlight these works, Nafas Beirut documents the emotions and experiences, and brings artists and viewers together, historicizing the moment. Nafas Beirut is a platform for these immediate responses through a multimedia exhibition and a month long series of events including, video screenings curated by various organizations and collectives, concerts, an open mike poetry jam, and a lecture on the oil spill.

The exhibition will continue until the 17th of November.
For the schedule of the events, please check http://www.espacesd.com or http://www.xanaduart.com/nafas.html
Espace SD is open everyday except sundays between 3pm and 8pm.
