this year marks the 20th anniversary of the founding of version industries<\/em>. we never imagined we’d last this long. to mark the occasion it feels fitting that the posters we made for tim sutton’s<\/a> feature film taurus<\/a> and alexandra stergiou’s<\/a> short film the act of coming out<\/a> have just been acquired by the kunstbibliothek (art library) of the staatliche museen zu berlin<\/em> (state museum in berlin), germany. we will post a link to their digital record<\/a> of the acquisitions the moment they appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

there’s a chance also that one or other of the posters will be featured in their forthcoming gro\u00dfes kino: movie posters from twelve decades<\/a> show. the show opens november 3rd of this year in berlin. here is what they say about it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Gro\u00dfes Kino \u2013 we\u2019re talking about cinema with a capital C, about motion pictures that leave you feeling overwhelmed or in awe. A good movie poster, too, is designed to be remembered: it captures the film\u2019s mood, alludes to storylines, evokes feelings. The drama and narrative of a long film are condensed into a single image. The exhibition “Gro\u00dfes Kino” presents around 100 original movie posters from the 1900s through to the 2020s from the Kunstbibliothek\u2019s collection of graphic design<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The twist is that the selection is not made by the inhouse curatorial team alone, but in collaboration with thirty people connected with the film industry \u2013 including actors, directors, cineasts, historians and designers. In the exhibition, an audio guide with the guest curators\u2019 commentaries will inform visitors about the background to their poster selections. Thematic sections provide additional perspectives on the medium of the movie poster, such as its birth at the turn of the 20th century, Berlin as a city of cinema, and current graphic design trends for films. The exhibition will be accompanied by an education and outreach programme as well as a symposium that examines the topic from a critical perspective.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

either way a huge thank you to christina thompson<\/a> and christina dembny<\/a> at kunstbibliothek<\/a> for finding and acquiring these posters. we are greatly honoured to have our work in such a museum’s permanent collection; a collection that includes the work of one of our heroes, hans hillmann<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
