A Guest Without A Host Is A Ghost
Beirut imagines their possible presence with A Guest Without A Host Is A Ghost, a project that brings over thirty artworks from the Kadist Art Foundation collections in Paris and San Francisco on a year-long residency to Cairo. As temporary guest to the city, the collection will be present in various shows and events. Beirut will temporarily transform into a collection institution with a widespread infrastructure, directing this ‘residency’ in close collaboration with the Kadist Art Foundation and various local partners including the Contemporary Image Collective , Townhouse and Institut Francais d’Egypte au Caire . The selection comprises works by internationally acclaimed artists from around the globe, many of them will be showing their work for the first time in Egypt, including Jiří Kovanda , Charlotte Moth , Melvin Moti , The Propeller Group & Superflex , Walid Raad , Akram Zaatari , and many more. The project will kick off with a joint exhibition of all works across three venues between May 6 and June 18, 2014.
