Illustrators from Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Egypt and Jordan will be presenting the result of a six-day collaboration.

When? 25 to 30 of January 2010

Where? The Running Horse Contemporary Art Space in Beirut

Why is everyone in 1 box? The box will travel to other venues: mainly in public libraries in Lebanon

Here is the schedule:

—Beirut, Bashoura Public Library
15. 2.10 until 27.2.10

—Baalbeck Public Library
15. 3.10 until 27.3.10

—Bikfaya Public Library
12.4.10 until 24.4.10

—Sour Public Library
17.5.10 until 29.5.10

—Tripoli- Mina Public Library
14.6.10 until 26.6.10

Two major concerns about illustration in Lebanon are tackled in the creation of this exhibition. The first one is to celebrate illustration in the space of the visual arts and give visibility to the processes of illustration through sketching, researching and experimentation. The second one is to challenge notions of illustration and go beyond current “publishable” approaches.
