Singuhr-Hoergalerie Poster, Season 2011, from a series of three
screenprinted in four colors
When I’m riding through Berlin on my bike, there are a lot of poster
artworks trying to grab my attention. A lot of work that looks
interesting but not unique. Following a trend in design, without a
personal signature. But each time my eyes fall on one of cyan’s works, I
have to stop and get closer to study the perfect symphony of
typography, graphic/image/pattern, color, rhythm, format and print
production. Somehow it looks old and new at the same time—maybe that’s a
definition of being timeless?
I could pick a lot of their work to present to you, like everything they
did for Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau between 1990–2006. Or the magazines
they design for the “Kulturstiftung des Bundes” (The German Federal
Cultural Foundation), but I have chosen a poster they did this year for
Singuhr-Hoergalerie.
As described on the singuhr website:
The singuhr sound gallery has been the main venue for sound art in Berlin for over ten years now. The nationally and internationally unique project has realised at least 60 audio-visual art exhibits—art that rejects one-dimensional classifications and reflects the individual artistic positions between the poles of music, visual arts and medial arts.
Daniela Haufe and Detlef Fiedler established cyan in 1992 in Berlin.
