Poster Festival Lucerne
24.9. – 2.10.
Overview
Festival Programme
The Lucerne Poster Festival has dedicated it’s eighth event to the provocative
German poster designer and publisher,
Klaus Staeck (b. 1938). Law suits were
filed against 41 of his posters, but none
of the complaints were upheld. For the
first time, a comprehensive exhibition is
dedicated to digital and “moving”
­poster formats at this festival. The festival continues with “Everyda(y)ta” where
the challenge of data visualization
­through posters is dealt with. The festival programme further extends through
a review of the tradition of typographical posters in Switzerland.
For the first time, Weltformat is moving
away the city. In the context of the
opening of the new location of the
School of Art and Design at the Lucerne
University of Applied Sciences and Arts,
students are showcasing their posters
for the Swiss Jazz Festival. In the final
round, 20 posters have the chance to
win the international student competition on the theme of “Original & Copy”.
There will be another opportunity to see
the winners of the “100 Best Posters –
Germany Austria Switzerland”.
Other exhibitions take a look at the online platform Blank Poster, Germany’s
Year of Dance 2016 and word from Annik
Troxler, the designer of this year’s festival
poster.

Klaus Staeck: Nothing has been done!
(1) Kornschütte, Kornmarkt 3
Klaus Staeck was born in Pulsnitz near Dresden and grew up in
Bitterfeld. In 1956, he moved to the west and resat his Abitur (the
German leaving exam) in Heidelberg, as his leaving certificate
from the GDR was not recognised in the FRG. From 1957 to 1962,
he read law in Heidelberg, Hamburg and Berlin, completed his legal
training and worked for a couple of years as a lawyer in Heidelberg. Staeck, who in joined the SPD, was already artistically active
during his studies. In 1965, he founded the publisher “Edition
Tangente” which later became the “Edition Staeck” and published
artwork from international artists such as Joseph Beuys. At the
start of the 1970s, he was introduced to satirical posters. Staeck
was co-founder of the Internationalen Kunst- und Informationsmesse Dusseldorf/Cologne, the predecessor to Art Cologne, and
took part in documenta four times. From 2006 to 2015, Klaus
Staeck was President of the Academy of Arts in Berlin. He was sued
for many of his posters, was the subject of 41 lawsuits, all of which
he won. Meanwhile, his artistic work includes more than 300
posters which have been displayed in more than 3000 exhibitions
worldwide. Unfortunately, many of the grievances against him
from decades ago are still ongoing.
In 2015, “100 best Posters – Germany Austria Switzerland” was the
15th annual competition to be announced on an international scale
and acts as an important institution of current poster design.
Numerous graphic designers, graphic design students from
colleges and universities, agents, offices as well as purchasers and
printing companies take part each year. This year there were 605
entrants (of which 185 entries were from students) with over 2000
posters. The winning 100 posters and poster series, of which 50
come from Switzerland, were selected by a judging panel under the
guidance of Gunter Rambow.
Jury: Prof. Gunter Rambow (Güstrow),
Günter Eder (Vienna), Igor Gurovich

At Weltformat each year, we highlight different content-related,
formal as well as technical production aspects of the poster
medium. Until now, we concentrated on printed and static posters.
This year, we have, for the first time, turned our attention to moving
formats and are dedicating its own comprehensive exhibition to
this emerging form of design.
The curator Josh Schraub explores the possibilities and the limitations of digital posters. What are the techniques and methods of
narration? Where does the poster end and where does a film begin?
It ultimately leads us to the question of what a poster actually is
and how this medium will continue to develop in the future.
This exhibition deals with how data visualisation changes our
perception of daily life. Data collection of trade, science and
journalism characterises contemporary society. Data is everywhere, transparent and in many respects, readily made available.
That is no longer a scientific problem, but a graphical challenge.
The sheer amount of resources and potentials stories offer unlimited visual possibilities for innovative graphic designers.
From statistics to user-generated content: the curator Thomas
Clever has selected an international and contemporary overview of
innovative data visualisation. Everyda(y)ta is an exhibition from
the Graphic Design Festival Breda (Netherlands) whichs show how
designers nowadays use data to represent them visually.

Typographical Swiss Posters
from the 1930s to today
Blank Poster
(6) Kunsthalle, Bourbaki, Löwenplatz 11
Blank Poster is an online platform on which designers submit their
posters. The only stipulation is the topic: a randomly generated
word which is published on the website each week and acts as the
basis or inspiration for designers to create their posters. Apart
from this, there are no further rules or even a judging panel, so that
participants are encouraged to interpret
the brief in their own way. The website
serves as a place for unrestricted practice
of creativity. The Blank Poster project was
started more than two years ago and so far
more than 450 participants from 50
countries have participate in the project
and together have created more than 1200
posters. Weltformat is displaying a selection of the best posters in an exhibition.
The typographical poster has a long history and tradition. Even
during the French Revolution, typographical posters were used to
provide information from official and political announcements. The
posters were created from the collection of existing letters at the
typesetters. Text-only posters were the normal form of public
information before image posters, and later the photo poster,
conquered the poster panels.
In Switzerland, typographical posters arrived at the end of the 1920s.
It was Walter Käch and Ernst Keller who gave typographical posters
new impetus in the 1930s. At the end of the 1950s and in the 1960s,
the Swiss style of font on typographical posters was rediscovered.
The letters were not only removed from the type case, but in many
instances they were cut in linoleum. Armin Hoffman, lecturer at the
Kunstgewerbeschule in Basel, mastered this technique exquisitely.
Even today the typographical poster is highly rated in Switzerland
and enjoys great recognition abroad. In the exhibition, typographical posters in their purest form will be displayed which show the
varied life of lettering poster creation in Switzerland since the 1930s.

For the sixth consecutive year, the poster festival Weltformat has
announced a competition for students. The theme: Original &
Copy. At what point does the copy of a style become something
new and original? When does a copy just remain a copy? In
addition to the prize money of 1 500 CHF, the winning poster will be
on display nationally, courtesy of APG|SGA. The five-member
judging panel, under the direction of graphic designer Jiri Oplatek,
has selected 20 promising posters for the final from almost 1000
entries which were submitted by 500 students from all over the
world. The winning poster from the competition will be announced
at the opening of the festival on the 24th September at 6pm in the
Kornschütte.

J-A-Z-Z – Posters for jazz festivals from
students Lucerne University of Applied
Sciences and Arts and the Zurich
University of the Arts
(8) Bau 745 Viscosistadt, Hochschule Luzern, Emmenbrücke
Graphic design students from the School of Art and Design at the
Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts together with
students of Visual Communication at the Zurich University of the
Arts are showcasing their posters for jazz events. In 2015, students
from the School of Art and Design at the Lucerne University of
Applied Sciences and Arts created poster designs for the Jazz
festival in Schaffhausen as part of a poster module under the
guidance of lecturer Ralph Schraivogel. For Jazz Nights 2015 in
Langau, the graphic designs were created by students of Visual
Communication at the Zurich University of the Arts with lecturers
Marting Woodtli
and Jonas Voegeli.
The poster designs
from both universities as well as both
posters created for
the two jazz events
will be shown at the
opening of the
Viscosistadt.

Year of Dance 2016
(5) Neubad Bistro, Bireggstrasse 36
In 2016, the German dance scene becomes an extra special
constellation – unusually, the three most important festivals are
taking place within the space of a year: the Tanzkongress in
Hanover, the Tanzplattform in Frankfurt and the internationale
tanzmesse nrw in Dusseldorf. As the events are being combined
and complemented by various other initiatives, the German
umbrella association Tanz decided to call for the ‘Year of Dance
2016’. The studio Brousse & Ruddigkeit has developed a cooperative design which consists of three shapes, two colours and a font.
This has resulted in, amongst other things, 16 posters which have
been created by renowned graphic designers from around the
world.
A project by Brousse & Ruddigkeit, Berlin. With posters from Daniel Arab, Anıl Aykan
Barnbrook, Bärbel Bold, Vito Bica, Alexander Branczyk, Lea Brousse, Lev Chestakov,
Alexander Egger, Lars Harmsen, Timothy Helmer, Fons Hickmann, Mario Lombardo, Ariane
Spanier, Andrea Tinnes, Niklaus Troxler and Li Xu.
