Project Description

Letterpress printed posters for the 2021 art stipends by the city of Zurich (Kunststipendien der Stadt Zürich 2021).
The task was to fit 36 names of nominated artists on the poster. The conceptual approach was to create depth and a cityscape of letterforms. The perspective reminds of movie credits but also helps to make the names as big as possible.

The posters in the traditional Swiss Weltformat (89.5x128cm /35x50in) have been hand-printed in a total of 23 print runs from laser-cut MDF and hand-set metal type.
