UNSIGHTED

Unsighted is a project curated by Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte in which designers are asked to produce a work while unaware of the context. Without standard parameters, the project aims to emancipate the designer from notions of style, spatial specifications and project demands. The purpose is the creation of objects that are active and autonomous agents in their environment, not complementing a space, but impacting it in their own right. Unsighted will reveal new works by: Anton Alvarez (USA), Bahraini Danish (Bahrain), Eric Schmitt (France), Niamh Barry (Ireland), Omer Arbel (Canada), Roberto Sironi (Italy), Seo Jeonghwa (Korea). 

Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte is an architect, curator and gallerist, he co-founded Carwan Gallery in Beirut and Nomad, the Traveling Showcase for Contemporary Art and Design.
