THE RUNNING HOUSE

The Running House is an art gallery located in Beirut. It features exhibitions by contemporary artists, including Sean Mackaoui, a Lebanese artist specializing in collages. Mackaoui's collages are at once impertinent, poetic and critical. He uses scissors as his main tool to create his works, which are made up of newspaper clippings, advertisements and magazine cut-outs. His collages often evoke deeper meanings than the elements of which they are composed. Mackaoui is inspired by the Dada movement and pop art, and his work is often humorous, minimalist and critical. He has exhibited his work in galleries around the world, including Beirut, Madrid and Barcelona.
