The upcoming event promoting Polish poster art will take place as part of the Polish Poster Week in Ankara, between 20-26 October, 2014. This is the second part of the project Polish Poster in Turkey, in collaboration with the Poster Gallery in Kraków. There will be two different exhibitions going on view. The first display will be held on the Bilkent University campus. The selection will include works by Roman Kalarus from Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice; Kaja Renkas from Silesian University, Art Institute in Cieszyn; Michał Jandura from Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Workshops with students, lectures, meetings and a series of exhibitions presenting contemporary Polish poster will be open to the public on campus.
Polish posters will also appear in the city centre at Cer Modern. In the main lobby, more than 70 posters selected from the collection of Krzysztof Dydo will be available. Meanwhile, at CerModern's extension, HUB Art Space , a solo show of works by Tomasz Bogusławski from Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk will be on view. Bogusławski's work is characterized by a combination of photographs and everyday objects. Ekin Kılıç - artist and co-organizer of the event on the Turkish side, was inspired by Bogusławski's work to host a graphics workshop at CerModern that will focus on animating his posters.
