Maeve Brennan: The Drift

30 September 2017 – February 2018

The Drift, is a major new film commission by contemporary artist Maeve Brennan in her first institutional solo exhibition. The film traces the shifting economies of objects in contemporary Lebanon by following the activities of three main characters: the gatekeeper of the Roman temples of Niha in the Beqaa Valley; a young mechanic from Britel, a village known for trading automobile parts; and an archaeological conservator working at the American University of Beirut.

The exhibition is a co-commission between Spike Island; Chisenhale Gallery; The Whitworth, The University of Manchester; and Lismore Castle Arts, Lismore.
