HELLO BRNO
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Context: The International Biennale of Graphic Design in Brno, founded in 1963, is held every other year in Brno, the second largest city in the Czech Republic, The main organizers are the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic and the Moravian Gallery in Brno, in the buildings of which the Biennale takes place. The Ministry gives a largest chunk of the money for the event, followed by some sponsor's contributions. It is one of the largest events of its kind, the volume of submissions for the competition part of the Biennale is usually about 5,000 works by several hundred designers, from virtually every continent. From these, items for exhibition are chosen by the selection committee. All of the accepted designs are displayed and the International Jury then awards the Grand prix, prize for the best work in each category, as well as other prizes. The main exhibition is accompanied by a number of associated events - this year, one of them being "Graphic design in the white cube" curated by Peter Bilak. As this small exhibition is very self-conscious about presenting imported graphic design to local public, the poster that you make should somehow reflect on the event itself.
