Omar Mismar is a visual artist born in Beirut, Lebanon. He holds a BFA in Graphic Design from the American University of Beirut, and an MFA in Fine Arts-Social Practice and an MA in Visual and Critical Studies from California College of the Arts. Among the varied contexts that nurtured his experience as a graphic designer is Mind the gap, the Beirut-based design studio with a varied portfolio in designing publications, campaigns, cultural projects, and exhibitions. He was a participating artist, designer, and co-editor for the book Queer Geographies: Beirut Tijuana Copenhagen. Mismar taught at the department of Architecture and Design at the American University of Beirut in 2011-2012. He later moved to San Francisco on a Fulbright scholarship where he completed his graduate studies.
Mismar’s art practice is influenced by Conceptual art, critical studies, and design. He drifts in the city, clinging parasitically onto different frameworks and situations, occupying different roles, and forming temporary alliances—to space, to publics, and to the subject matter at hand. Contingency, desire, connection, and romance complicate the body of work. The outcomes of the investigations and aftermaths are a dérive through form, from performances, ephemeral in nature, to installations, video, photography, and sculpture. They seek in their aesthetics to translate what happened and reflect on it, drawing the viewer as an accomplice. Mismar is fascinated by the figure of the detective. His recent projects and current preoccupation turn toward conflict: with the aestheticization of lived political realities on the one hand, and the politicization of the necessary aesthetic sensibility and ambiguity on the other, is there an in-between space that we can occupy, via poetics?
