Chicago Poster Biennial

Joseph Michael Essex · c. 2016 · Offset lithograph

An abstract red ring frames an incomplete circle, carrying the biennial's theme: a poster is an incomplete circle, and it can only become whole through the people who view it. In the lower right corner, the official Chicago Poster Biennial mark shows a hand pinning a poster, ringed with the event's name. The design turns every viewer into the final collaborator.

A poster is an incomplete circle. It can only become whole by those viewing it. Add your part.Joseph Michael Essex
