Systems of Poster Series 2
An archive of poster series for arts and cultural programs since 2000
This publication presents a comprehensive study of poster series created for various art and cultural programs since 2000. Following the previous volume, Systems of Poster Series 1, which featured sequential posters for museums and cultural institutions, this book focuses on poster series that have emerged in more fluid and collaborative environments, such as festivals, performances, and art projects.
It collects and organizes, in an archival format, poster series for art and cultural programs produced across different regions since 2000. These include the poster series for the arts festival Festival Bo:n, designed by Sulki and Min between 2008 and 2013, and the visual identity for Seoul Art Book Fair Unlimited Edition, which Every Move Counts (EMC) has been producing continuously since 2009.
By analyzing the design approaches, structural frameworks within the series, and the collaborative relationships between designers and program organizers, the book explores how each series strikes a balance between improvisation and continuity within ongoing graphic design practices.
Includes interviews with Erich Brechbühl, center Inc., DDBBMM, Every Move Counts (EMC), Hammer, Helmo, Iro / Your Mind, Lämm & Kirch, Jiri Oplatek / Claudiabasel, Paper Press, Sulki and Min, Niklaus Troxler, and Martin Woodtli. With an essay, "Between Repetition and the Moment," by Sanri Kang.
