AIGA Event: Died Young, Stayed Pretty


Poster Designed By Tanxxx


here's an AIGA event that EVERYONE, even non-members, can attend.

Thursday, October 1, 2009 7 p.m.
Walker Art Center Cinema
1750 Hennepin Ave
Minneapolis, MN 55403

This candid documentary delves into the underground poster culture in North America.

In posters for groups such as Arcade Fire, Radiohead, and Sonic Youth, these aesthetic brawlers publicly argue the merits of octopus imagery, hairy ’70s porn stars, and the spotty underbelly of Western civilization with a visual language that’s all their own—strikingly obscene, blasphemous, and often quite beautiful—and they’re not shy about throwing it in the face of polite society.

Q&A with the director follows the screening.
