Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige: Messages with(out) a code

The Third Line is pleased to present a solo exhibition by artists and filmmakers Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige. The exhibition proudly debuts The Third Line's newly renovated space, which is being unveiled alongside this show. Messages with(out) a code presents a selection of new and seminal pieces from their ongoing project Unconformities, which began in 2016 when the artists started collecting a series of earth core samples that revealed the subterranean worlds of cities omnipresent in their personal imaginaries: Athens, Paris, Beirut and Tripoli.

The exhibition is accompanied by an interview with writer and curator Shumon Basar and the artists, where they delve into the motivation behind this body of work. To read the full interview, click below.
