An upcoming solo exhibition, Beirut Midnight, is scheduled for February 9 at KED. Curated by the Lynn Modallal Gallery, the event is invitation-only and will explore human experiences and prejudices.
The exhibition is poised to explore the complex and often misunderstood nexus of pain and pleasure within the realm of physical experiences. The event seeks to challenge and deconstruct the traditional view that pain and pleasure are inherently antithetical elements in the human experience.
The highlight of the Beirut Midnight exhibition is a live theoretical performance of Shibari by René De Sans, a renowned artist based in Berlin. De Sans' work delves into the intricate relationship between pain and pleasure, probing the transformative possibilities that pain can manifest in people’s lives. To ensure a respectful and secure atmosphere, the exhibition is a guest list-only event.
Shibari, a term which translates from Japanese as “to tie,” refers in its contemporary context to an ancient Japanese art form of rope bondage. It is a practice steeped in tradition yet is continually evolving in its interpretation and execution.
