The competition “The Poster Remediated” is open to individual artists, graphic design studios and creative groups from all over the world. The task is to produce an animation based on one of 10 iconic posters selected from the designs awarded in the 50 years of history of the International Poster Biennale in Warsaw. The selection was made by the curator of the main exhibition and the competition, David Crowley – professor at London’s Royal College of Art. The posters can be viewed and downloaded at Warsaw’s Poster Museum.

The competition posters are: “Dylan” by Milton Glaser (1966), “Text, Buchstabe, Bild” Marion Diethelm (1970), “The Sleep of Reason” by Roman Cieślewicz (1976), “Corners – Painterly and Sculptural Work” by Jacqueline S. Casey (1979), “Attention. Au Début Hitler Faisait Rire” by Alain Le Quernec (1987), “Save the Human Right” by Finn Nygaard (1998), “Love, Peace and Happiness” by Shin Matsunagi (1986), “…and our world is still alive” by Tahamtan Aminian (2003), “Immigration, Fear or Hope?” by Shaghayegh Fakharzadeh (2011), and “Welcome to Paradise III” by Małgorzata Gurowska (2013).

© 2. Poster: Milton Glaser (USA), Dylan, 1966. Milton Glaser’s Dylan poster was inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s 1957 self-portrait. It also anticipated the psychedelic effects of much Counter-culture design of the late 1960s. “The history of visual things in the world,” says Glaser, “is my playpen.” The poster was designed to be folded and packaged into Dylan’s “Greatest Hits” LP.
