Rabih Mroué (born 1967) is an actor, director, playwright, visual artist, and a contributing editor of The Drama Review (TDR) as well as a co-founder and board member of the Beirut Art Center (BAC), Beirut. Recent exhibitions include "I the Undersigned" at BAK (Utrecht, 2010), Performa 09 (New York, 2009), 11th International Istanbul Biennial (2009), "Tarjama/Translation" at Queens Museum of Art (New York, 2009), Sjarjah Biennial (2009), "Soft Manipulation – Who is afraid of the new now?" at Casino Luxembourg (2008) and "Medium Religion" at ZKM (Karlsruhe, 2008). Mroué lives and works in Beirut.

Rabih Mroué engages with cultural and political processes.
His meticulously staged theatrical performances
and videos explore relationships between different artistic
languages and the interaction between performer and
audience. For “Globe” Mroué invited his friends from Beirut.
Alternative Sounds characterize Ziad Nawfal’s live
broadcast for Radio Lebanon and a concert by Scrambled
Eggs, one of the most distinguished young Beirut rock
bands. Films by Simon Haber, Maher Abi Samra, Lamia
Joreige, and Diana Allan will be shown, and a performance
by the filmmakers Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige
will be staged. The program moreover includes lectures
by Rabih Mroué and a talk by the artist, architect, and
essayist Tony Chakar.

Globe is not an exhibition in the traditional sense, but rather a flexible space that allows for a series of scenarios focused on moving images, performative events and talks that unfold during seven weeks in a temporary space at the ground floor of the Deutsche Bank Towers. Each week will be shaped by a different international artist and his or her guests.

Die Veranstaltungen finden in englischer Sprache statt.

Ei Arakawa‘s performances move between action and
ceremony. With different materials such as video films,
banners, and posters, which “illustrate” choreographies,
he creates situations in which the boundaries between
actor and audience disappear. In Frankfurt, he and his
friends will articulate the cultural and aesthetic transfer
between Japan and the Western art scene. All guests
recently visited Japan in order to develop this project.
The program consists of performances, talks, concerts,
and films by the artists Henning Bohl, Carissa Rodriguez,
Q Takeki Maeda, Yuki Kimura, Mélanie Mermod, Ken
Okiishi, and the New York composer Sergei Tcherepnin.
It will be supplemented by daily changing exhibitions and
a project on the legendary Japanese artists’ group Jikken
Kobo from the early 1950s.

Die Veranstaltungen finden in englischer Sprache statt.

The Israeli artist Keren Cytter shoots videos, choreographs dance performances, writes novellas, and has even penned an opera libretto. Her film works deal with human relationships and plumb the depths of the human psyche. They are assemblies of high- and pop-cultural quotations, citing classic movies, experimental films, and YouTube clips in equal measure. Cytter represents a young generation of artists who break all genre boundaries. Her three events are each devoted to one state or element under the motto "Fear, Fun and Fire." The author Charles Arsène-Henry and the premiere of Cytter's horror movie Don't Touch Me Psychopath instill fear. Critic and author Diedrich Diederichsen, the London punk band Maria and the Mirrors, and the performers Andrew Kerton and Dafna Maimon provide joy. The performers Susie Meyer and Fabian Stumm, cultural theorist Philipp Kleinmichel, and the music of underground star John Maus ignite.

Die Veranstaltungen finden in englischer Sprache statt.

The artists take their name from the otoliths – the calcium carbonate micro-crystals found within the inner ear that are responsible for balance. Their work was shown in solo exhibitions such as "A Long Time Between the Suns: Part I and Part II" (Gasworks and The Showroom, London, 2009) and "Thoughtform" (Macba Barcelona, 2011). Group exhibitions include Manifesta 8: The European Biennal of Contemporary Art, Murcia, (2010), Universes in Universe: 29th Sao Paolo Biennal (2010), the 7th Shanghai Biennale (2008), 2nd International Biennial of Contemporary Art of Seville (2006) and New British Art: Tate Triennial (2006). In 2010, The Otolith Group was nominated for the Turner Prize.

For "Globe" The Otolith Group has composed a program consisting of films, talks, audio-essays and a concert. Invited artists include Lise Autogena, theorist and filmmaker Brian W. Rogers, writer and theorist Rayya Badran, artist Justin Barton, critic, theorist, blogger and author Mark Fisher, Reza Negarestani, and legendary electronic music group Dopplereffekt.
