Synopsis:
Based on the eponymous best-selling book by Dennis King and Paul Grushkin, the exhibition Art of Modern Rock: The Poster Explosion explored the cultural power and renewed popularity of the rock poster in this new century.
The exhibition features over 70 contemporary rock posters from over 50 artists from around the world. Effort was made via the frame design, object placement, media design, and wall motifs to create an atmosphere that was neutral and modern, while still retaining the illustrative and graphic feel of modern rock posters.
When the exhibition was installed at EMP|SFM, additional multimedia elements and a large poster installation by graphic designer Mike King were added.
