BEIRUT, I LOVE YOU
BOOK LAUNCH with INCIDENTAL MUSIC and SPOKEN WORD
Straight out of Beirut, Lebanon,
ZENA EL KHALIL will
read from her recently published memoir, Beirut, I Love
You. Her reading coincides with the launch of her book
in the UK. This is the story of Zena, a young woman who
has fallen under the spell of a city that threatens to
engulf her in war, grief and love affairs.
In the streets armed militias carve out their
territories, while ragged construction workers
rebuild the city. Refugees sleep five to a bed as
bleach-blondes wend their way to the next
drug-fuelled supernightclub. At any moment, the
bombs will start falling.
Meanwhile, Zena and her best friend Maya must try to
make sense of their lives amidst the craziness, and
negotiate the city's many obsessions including
cosmetic surgery, husband hunting and Kalashnikovs.
As honest as it is forgiving, this artist's memoir pits
love and art against the ever-present threat of war.
RAMZI HIBRI, a young & up and coming bass player, is
flying in from Beirut to take London by storm. He
will create soundscapes from the magical mystical
wonderland of xanadu
http://www.xanaduart.com,
inspired by passages of Zena's book. After which,
a full fledged catharsis will follow. This is what
it's like to be young and from Beirut.
JOE NAMY, (aka Iqaa the Olivetone), Detroit/New York
based connoisseur of music from the Middle East and
host of the weekly radio program Electric Kahraba on
WNYU, will be selecting new and rare beats, rhymes,
and tarab from the turbulent, but ever mesmerizing
world of Arabia.

The installation is an arangement of three A1
landscape pieces called 'yin and yang with grey
scaling'. It is a visual display of man and nature
in antithesis and in harmony: with the garden as
the halfway house between artifice and what man is
born into.
The opening night (Wednesday the 22nd of April)
brings together the talents of film makers,
comedians, poets and musicians under the careful
tour guidance of a science-geek musician,
comedian-compare.

"A Jew in Between"
The installation is set in two parts consisting of a
world juxtaposing Judaism with debauchery. Sanctity
and holy innocence is perhaps being perverted by sex
and filth, where one is caught between the balance
of something beautiful and something unholy one
might also find the holy distasteful too. The
aesthetics of the pieces may show that they are made
from cheap recycled material and the artist stresses
the metaphor on religion that perhaps it is
something material, holy, made from unholy and that
beautiful things are perhaps man made from the
things we neglect and normally throw away.
It is autobiographical of the artist's orthodox
Jewish upbringing and rebelling, his feelings
towards religion and the new perversions of life
outside the bubble neither for, nor against either,
but constantly torn between two worlds and always
left hanging in the balance.
