The past weekend the judging of my Master project took place, and I passed! Thanks to everybody for the participation! The project and a part of the submissions are now on display in Zuiderpershuis in Antwerp till tomorrow. The publication about the concept  and project will appear on the website soon!

The exhibition is finally here, and tomorrow in the newspaper. All the submissions where put in a series of incomplete grids to add to the feeling of an absence. More pictures will follow soon!

The prints are ready!  This big pile of paper contains all the submissions. We’re getting ready to decorate De Winkelhaak from 9 till 12 June!

The publication is in full progress and hopefully available by the end of this month.

The first exhibition!! From 09 till 12 June in Antwerp (the address u can find on the flyer above). U are more then welcome to check out all submissions! Pictures will follow!

The time has come to publish the entries we received so far!

As an extra motivation or inspiration we are giving u a look in our database. U can take a look at all of them in the ‘ENTRIES’ section. This however  doesn’t mean the competition is over, there is still some time left to send in your submission!

The international design magazine Addictlab is going to publish the winning entries in their september issu! And they will put them right here on their website to.

Designing Absence is going around the world and back. So we thought it would be nice to say a small thank u to the sites that posted us so far. I was thinking to make some extra pages in the book with all the sites that helped us spread our message, it would be the nice thing to do and could show the size of this project. So if u write some post about it, let us know the link so we can print it!
