LA VITRINE

Four meters by two and five meters high.
Co-founded by Ziad Antar

During the second year of BAR, La Vitrine emerged as a response to the lack of public art in the city as well as the need for artistic and public expression. Located on 373 Pasteur Street in the same residential building as the residency, La Vitrine is a four by two meter, high-ceilinged room with a glass door acting as the only separator between the art and the sidewalks of Beirut. Artists are invited on a bi-monthly basis to work on site-specific interventions responding mainly to social issues and public space. La Vitrine aims to demonstrate how each artist interprets a concept within a constricted area with a public interface, revealing just enough information to substitute the presence of the artists themselves.
