25th International Poster Biennale in Warsaw

The Poster Remediated

A poster animation competition

 

Animate one of the posters which form part of the history of the International Poster Biennale in Warsaw. Challenge tradition – study the present – look into the future.

 

In 2016, the International Poster Biennale in Warsaw will celebrate its 50th anniversary. To mark it, the Program Council commissioned David Crowley to develop the concept behind a curated exhibition. The result of this collaboration is a project entitled “The Poster Remediated”, which explores the past, the present and the future of the poster while referring to the iconography created around this field of art throughout history.

 

One of the future paths for the poster is its animated version on digital screens. This is why the exhibition is accompanied by an animated poster competition.
