black and white and read all over – deutsche werkbund exhibition venice 2014, poster, venice 2014

deutsche? werkbund? exhibition? deutsche we can deal with. but few people will know what this »werkbund« thing is or what its original purpose was. which is why the exhibition poster is designed to illustrate precisely what this honourable institution stands for: bringing together the interests of the arts and business across multiple disciplines. that may sound simple enough these days, but when the organisation was founded exactly 100 years ago, it was nothing less than revolutionary. so this poster is a sign of change in more ways than one – because this captivating collection of 598 words invites you to do just that: change them around, mix and merge them to form amusing or insightful combinations and collocations, reading left to right or top to bottom. the outcome is a series of self-made crossfunctional phrases and thoughtflows like: »passion swarm« or »beyond consistency«. they spread the word that every nascent notion begins with language and that a diversity of disciplines will enrich any task and its outcome. just like the 41 authors from 14 specialist fields who contributed to this visionary vocabulary of the changing times.
