Sodeco, Beirut district

Established in December 2022, Takeover is a project space meant to bridge the gap between art galleries and institutions. As an artist-run space, its main agenda is to host the local artist community, their works and ideas, while focusing on art-practices that work with the image.

Located on a beautiful stretch of Abdul Wahab el-Inglizi street, the space used to be a former patisserie kitchen. It is a 21sqm room located on street level and looks out unto it via a floor-to-ceiling vitrine. The previous tenant's kitchen tiles remain and the found mirrors have been reappropriated into the new design of the space. This sums up the spirit of Takeover - appreciating the local and regional talents we have, making the best out of the current situation and rethinking the present while heading towards an imagined bright future.
