Jean-Daniel Compain’s Passing – Co-founder of Bad+ alongside Beam

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Jean-Daniel Compain, co-founder of Bad+, Bordeaux's contemporary art and design fair, and a key figure in the world of events and contemporary art.

Thanks to his talent, visionary vision and exacting standards, Bad+ was born in 2021 alongside Beam, becoming an event in his image: unique and distinctive.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.

Our common commitment, thanks to your involvement by our side, is to keep his legacy alive by continuing the Bad+ adventure with the same passion and high standards that drove him.

We will continue to develop the event, to innovate and to uphold the values it embodied, so that its influence and vision continue to inspire each future edition.
