When Painting as Process and Poetry as Echo, Frédéric Husseini’s Outlook at Rebirth Beirut
Art does not always begin with answers. Sometimes, it starts with a question, a rhythm, or a silent exchange. In Outlook / Look Out, the new exhibition by Frédéric Husseini at Rebirth Beirut, the experience unfolds in three voices: the painter, the poet, and the reader-listener. Each painting is paired with a QR code; scan it, and a voice (Rita Husseini’s) delivers a poem by Noël Fattal. These poems were not written for the paintings, and the paintings did not illustrate the poems. Yet somehow, they belong together.
