EyeSaw Exhibition – Omnibus Lane
From August 9-16, Australia’s leading design studios will transform an inner-city Sydney laneway into an inspiring, outdoor exhibition with the theme of “Humanity/Equality”, as part of Sydney Design 09.
The project, EyeSaw is an annual event that invites the country’s top graphic designers to create and install a piece of visual communication in the Ultimo public space, Omnibus Lane. The exhibition’s mantra is the designer’s desire to explain to a world – where visual communication in myriad forms is omnipresent – precisely what it is they do and what its benefits are.
Highlights of EyeSaw this year will include a re-creation of a third-world back street; a global ideology typeset in a font made of the flags of the world; a poignant contribution involving the Israel/Palestine separation barrier that will see a part of the Gaza Strip brought to Sydney; and a surprising tribute to a leading graphic design figure who has achieved more in the field of human rights than almost anyone in history.
