Installation of a New Sculpture Signed by Pierre and Cedric Koukjian, Founders of SINCE Fine Art, “SAWA” at Beit Beirut Museum

“SAWA” by Pierre and Cedric Koukjian: Unity atop Beit Beirut.

BEIRUT, March 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Geneva-based designers Pierre and Cedric Koukjian, founders of SINCE Fine Art, have installed a new steel sculpture titled “SAWA” atop Beit Beirut. The piece represents peace and unity and reinforces the museum’s mission as a space for reflection, cultural dialogue, and reconciliation, contributing to the city’s growing presence in Beirut Lebanon art sculpture installations and public cultural landmarks.

Located along Beirut’s former Green Line, the museum once marked the city’s wartime division and has since been restored as a cultural and urban memory museum. The installation adds a contemporary artistic element that celebrates connection, resilience, and Lebanon’s enduring spirit.

Designed as an interconnected chain and crafted from hand-hammered stainless steel, the sculpture’s undulating surface echoes the building’s historic façade, integrating the artwork visually with the museum while emphasizing the strength of unity.

“This installation embodies the values of connection and hope,” said a spokesperson for the designer duo. “Signed by Pierre and Cedric Koukjian, it complements the museum’s mission of preserving history while encouraging reflection and dialogue about the city’s future.”

Installation logistics were coordinated by Blackblues, ensuring the sculpture was carefully integrated into the rooftop without compromising the building’s architectural integrity.

The addition demonstrates SINCE Fine Art’s continued commitment to creating public artworks that resonate with cultural and historical contexts, highlighting themes of unity and resilience through postmodernist design.

Visages et personnages de lʼAntiquité – Dieux, guerriers et empereurs – En vedette de la vente aux enchères dʼantiquités et dʼart ancien organisée par TimeLine le 3 mars

HARWICH, Royaume-Uni, 27 févr. 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TimeLine Auctions, la salle des ventes britannique réputée pour son expertise dans le domaine des antiquités de niveau muséal, organisera une vente aux enchères exceptionnelle dʼantiquités et dʼart ancien le 3 mars 2026 (premier jour). Le premier jour, un catalogue imprimé présentant une sélection soignée de sculptures romaines en marbre, poteries grecques, bronzes anciens raffinés, bijoux ancestraux et pierres précieuses de lʼépoque romaine sera distribué.

Parmi les pièces maîtresses, figureront des marbres romains, notamment une tête en marbre romain grandeur nature représentant Hermès et datant du Ier au IIe siècle après J.-C. et un buste romain de Mars casqué et cuirassé, sculpté à la fin de lʼépoque romaine, alliant pouvoir martial et raffinement classique. La grandeur de lʼart romain trouvera également écho dans un torse de bélier en marbre grandeur nature, probablement destiné à être exposé dans une grande villa ou un complexe thermal, dont le modelé naturaliste traduit la force et le mouvement.

La créativité artistique grecque sera représentée par un rare alabastre attique à figures noires (date approximative : 500-480 av. J.-C.), sur lequel est représentée une scène de combat saisissante entre un guerrier grec et un archer scythe, un récit associé à lʼépoque des guerres médiques.

Le premier jour, des bronzes dʼexception seront également mis à lʼhonneur. Un imposant torse romain en bronze vêtu dʼune toge présente un drapé élégant et une belle patine ancienne, tandis quʼun bronze égyptien représentant Horus debout sur une antilope incarne le symbolisme divin et lʼiconographie animale sacrée de la période tardive de lʼère ptolémaïque (664-30 av. J.-C.). Parmi les joyaux exposés, on remarque tout particulièrement un camée en agate romaine, finement sculpté, représentant lʼempereur Auguste, témoignant de lʼengouement des élites de lʼAntiquité pour les arts miniatures et lʼimagerie impériale.

Après la vente du premier jour, les enchères se poursuivront uniquement en ligne du 4 au 7 mars, proposant une large sélection dʼœuvres dʼart ancien et dʼantiquités à des tarifs abordables, issues de différentes collections.

First-Time Player of The UAE Lottery Takes Home Life-Changing AED 5 Million

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Feb. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Just recently, The UAE Lottery’s Lucky Day Draw celebrated a major milestone by awarding its first-ever AED 5 million Second Prize winner, an exciting moment for the popular weekly draw.

It was beginner’s luck for 42-year-old Murugananth Govinthan, an Indian resident of the UAE, who registered with The UAE Lottery, operated by the Game LLC, for the first time and bought his very first ticket, sharing it with a close friend. With that single ticket, they claimed the AED 5 million Second Prize, splitting the life-changing winnings. The increased prize, up from AED 1 million, has sparked fresh excitement and renewed hope among players across the Emirates.

Murugananth shared his emotions, saying, “I couldn’t stop thinking about everything I’ve been through over the past three years, the challenges, my marriage, my children’s education, and all the responsibilities on my shoulders. That’s why I came to the UAE. I didn’t expect it to happen so soon. I feel very happy.”

As The UAE Lottery celebrated its first anniversary in November 2025, it had already made history, crowning an AED 100 million Grand Prize winner, four AED 1 million winners, and over 290 Lucky Day, Lucky Chance, and scratch card players who took home AED 100,000 each. The excitement continues in 2026 with a new AED 5 million winner, proving that The UAE Lottery is rapidly becoming a premier destination for life-changing prizes and thrilling gameplay in the Emirates.

Les feux d’artifice de Liuyang illuminent le ciel nocturne d’Abou Dabi

LIUYANG, Chine, 10 févr. 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Le soir du 6 février, heure locale, des feux d’artifice de Liuyang ont illuminé le ciel nocturne d’Abou Dabi, capitale des Émirats arabes unis (EAU), lors d’un spectacle pyrotechnique exceptionnel de 10 minutes.

Un contenu média annexé au présent communiqué est disponible en cliquant sur ce lien.

Ce spectacle pyrotechnique a été entièrement planifié et réalisé par Liuyang Jiteng Fireworks Group Co., Ltd. et constituait l’un des moments forts de l’événement « Happy Spring Festival 2026 – Hunan Culture in the UAE » (Joyeuse fête du printemps – La culture du Hunan aux Émirats arabes unis).

En tant que « berceau des feux d’artifice chinois », la ville de Liuyang, dans la province du Hunan, a depuis longtemps fait de ses produits pyrotechniques une véritable vitrine de la culture hunanaise sur la scène internationale. En 2025, malgré les pressions auxquelles elle était confrontée, l’industrie des feux d’artifice de Liuyang a poursuivi sa progression : la valeur de sa chaîne industrielle a de nouveau dépassé les 50 milliards de yuans, atteignant 50,58 milliards de yuans, soit une hausse de 0,7 % par rapport à l’année précédente, avec des performances à l’exportation particulièrement remarquables.

La popularité croissante des feux d’artifice de Liuyang à l’échelle mondiale repose également sur le renforcement continu de la coopération économique et commerciale entre Changsha et les Émirats arabes unis. Ces dernières années, Changsha et les EAU ont adhéré au principe d’avantages mutuels et de coopération gagnant-gagnant, approfondissant sans cesse leurs échanges économiques et commerciaux et obtenant des résultats fructueux. Maniant la lumière comme un pinceau et les flammes comme une musique, cette fête culturelle immersive du Nouvel An chinois a non seulement transmis de chaleureux vœux de bonne année à la population locale, mais a également donné lieu à une toute nouvelle symphonie de rayonnement mondial de la culture du Hunan et d’intégration approfondie de la coopération économique et commerciale sino-émirienne.

This pyrotechnic show was fully planned and executed by Liuyang Jiteng Fireworks Group Co., Ltd. and served as a highlight of the 2026 UAE “Happy Spring Festival – Hunan Culture in the UAE” event.

As the “Hometown of Chinese Fireworks,” Liuyang City in Hunan Province has long established its fireworks products as a shining calling card for Hunan culture as it makes its way onto the world stage. In 2025, despite facing pressures, Liuyang's fireworks industry forged ahead, with its industrial chain value once again surpassing the 50 billion yuan mark, reaching a total of 50.58 billion yuan, representing a year-on-year increase of 0.7%, with particularly remarkable export performance.

The surge in Liuyang fireworks' global popularity is underpinned by the increasingly close economic and trade cooperation between Changsha and the UAE. In recent years, Changsha and the UAE have adhered to the principle of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, continuously deepening economic and trade exchanges and achieving fruitful results. Using light as a brush and flames as music, this immersive Spring Festival cultural feast not only sent warm New Year wishes to the local people but also struck up a brand-new symphony of the global outreach of Hunan culture and the in-depth integration of China-UAE economic and trade cooperation.
