THE MOVING POSTER

Opening Wednesday, 27th February 2019 7 pm
Open daily from 3 to 9 pm. Closed Fridays.

‘The Moving Poster’, the first exhibition of animated posters in Cairo, brings together top designers and animators from all over the world. ‘Moving posters’ are a new digital form where the visual content is animated and displayed through an array of moving image technologies. The exhibited selection demonstrates the wide range of possibilities as well as the limitations of digital visuals and raises questions like: What new techniques and methods of narration can be employed? What are the defining lines between an animated poster and a film? How can this medium develop in the future? And, most importantly, what is a poster exactly?

‘The Moving Poster’ was previously shown at the Weltformat Graphic Design Festival, Switzerland – 2016 and in Typomania international Typographic Festival, Russia – 2017.

The exhibition is accompanied by 3 guest lectures and a two-day workshop.

<< Posters in Process>>
Erich Brechbühl will give an in-depth introduction to his poster design process and show some of his other recent works. By sharing different examples of his work with the public, he will demonstrate the paths and experiments he goes through to reach the final design.

<< I Like to move it>>
Josh Schaub will talk about why and how he believes everyone should animate their visual works. In his talk, Schaub will discuss the various different elements involved in working with moving posters and animated infographics including dynamic fonts and kinetic illustrations amongst other elements.
Following a brief presentation of their work, Turbo, together with the guest speakers, invites the audience to an open informal discussion around regional and international contemporary design discourses and their relation to the visual arts.
