POSTED 1 - international poster project This project aims to challenge the increasingly unquestioned commodification of images, writing, and public blank wall space through a temporary installation of posters that are not advertisements. The idea for this project came from a frustration with the lack of motivation among artists to engage with the public outside of the gallery/exhibition space, and at how advertisers have appropriated public wall spaces. It will be displayed in a social or common area of each venue - cafe, entrance, resource room, etc. Submission was free, and open to all artists who's work can be represented in A3 poster format. The POSTED PROJECT website is the hub of the project: it currently includes a curated gallery of submissions and a public discussion forum, and will be updated with documentation from each venue. POSTED 1 is curated by SKART - an artists collaboration based in Cork City - with selection advice from two invited professionals: Rene Zechlin, (Curator of Exhibitions and Projects, Glucksman Gallery, Cork), Trevor Joyce, (Contemporary Poet, Founder and Chair of SoundEye International Poetry Festival). Selected posters will be displayed at the following venues: |
