Past Forward, Think Space

Past Forward, Think Space


Radically Transform
The last three decades saw significant change across social, political, and environmental registers. The conjunction of capital flows, mass urbanization and increasingly interconnected cultural and financial networks have reshaped the way we understand, produce and discuss architecture resulting in a breathless cycle of formal and aesthetic transformations. This restless appearance of change conceals an increasing sense of inertia or perhaps even of confusion, in that an intellectual project has yet to accompany the overriding sense of technical virtuosity.

Where is the meaning? At the top or at the bottom?

Where is the meaning? At the top or at the bottom?


Define It Billboard Size
Creatively get it all out of your system… treat it as a canvas to project all the processes taking place in the world at the moment out on. We live in the time of crisis so how can we treat it as quickly as we can?  In our fast-paced world, think about where we are heading and why we chose this particular direction. Are we happy with the way the reality we created works? Are we reaching for the top or for the bottom?
Are we happy with the goals we are setting for ourselves? Are these goals ours or are they imposed on us? Where is the meaning?

The 2012 Chicago International Poster Biennial (CIPB)
Is open to all current students of graphic design or a related art disciplines, anywhere in the world.  Posters must be original designs, created in response to the theme.  The theme draws upon the rich history of music in Chicago.
Chicago has an amazing reputation as a musical city starting from the early 1900s with both blues and jazz being prevalent to the city. In addition, the rock and punk scene began in the 1980s and continues to this day. American Heavy Metal has had a presence in the city since the late 1990s. Most recently in the mid-2000s, Hip-hop and Rap emerged as a musical force in Chicago.
