Beirut Art Residency
Beirut Art Residency is a non-profit artist-run interdisciplinary residency based in Beirut, Lebanon. History and program Beirut Art Residency was founded in 2015 by Amar A. Zahr.

The artist-in-residence program aims to stimulate creativity through interaction with the local environment, artists and cultural institutions, and seeks to foster cross-cultural relations between participants and the local artistic community in Beirut. The program strives to instigate dialogue between artists from various disciplines including: Visual Arts, Concept & Theory, Design, Film & Video, Installation, Music & Sound, Performance, Photography and Curatorial research. Residencies are typically removed from the city and isolated, so setting up the space in the middle of Beirut serves a different purpose.

Photography
Photography is the art, application, and practice of creating durable images by recording light, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film. It is employed in many fields of science, manufacturing (e.g., photolithography), and business, as well as its more direct uses for art, film and video production, recreational purposes, hobby, and mass communication. Typically, a lens is used to focus the light reflected or emitted from objects into a real image on the light-sensitive surface inside a camera during a timed exposure. With an electronic image sensor, this produces an electrical charge at each pixel, which is electronically processed and stored in a digital image file for subsequent display or processing. The result with photographic emulsion is an invisible latent image, which is later chemically "developed" into a visible image, either negative or positive, depending on the purp ...

Task performance is dependent on cognitive ability, while contextual performance is dependent on personality.

Citizenship performance, like contextual performance, relates to a set of individual activity/co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
