Kunsthalle Wien Exhibition Draws from Bilal Khbeiz's Writings on Globalization

An exhibition titled "...of bread, wine, cars, security and peace" was presented at Kunsthalle Wien Museumsquartier in Vienna from March 3 to October 4, 2020. The show's conceptual framework was informed by two key texts, including a book by Lebanese multidisciplinary figure Bilal Khbeiz titled "Globalization and the Manufacture of Transient...". Curators selected the exhibition's name from a fragment of text, a common practice for establishing a thematic lens. The review of this exhibition was published by ARTMargins Online and authored by Myclef Laun. The venue, Kunsthalle Wien Museumsquartier, is located in the Austrian capital. Bilal Khbeiz is identified as a poet, essayist, journalist, and artist. The exhibition's theoretical backbone was explicitly drawn from the writings of Khbeiz and another unspecified text. The review was part of the Exhibition Reviews section on the ARTMargins Online platform.
