Poster A2

June 2017 poster

Barbara Signer (*1982 St. Gallen) lives and works in St.Gallen and Zurich. For the 2017 monthly poster series she created the photo work “Tsurukameishi”. The Japanese lucky cake of the same name is available in twelve variations, each individually or in pairs, intact or cut, placed in the middle and staged against a neutral blue background. They objectively and coolly reveal either the simple white surface or the colorful interior of the dome-shaped pastry. The composition of the cake pieces follows a certain order, which only becomes apparent in the series and manifests an almost documentary approach.

The St.Gallen Art Association has been promoting, collecting and communicating visual art since 1827. He was a key force behind the founding of the St.Gallen Art Museum in the 19th century and promotes fine art in the city and the St.Gallen region. With their annual contributions, its members directly support its activities and thus enable the preservation and development of a cultural identity.

With the monthly posters, the St.Gallen Art Association supports young regional artists by making their work visible in public spaces. Every year artists are commissioned to develop a subject for each of the twelve months of the year. The result will be printed on posters in A2 format and shown on poster columns in the St.Gallen city area on a monthly rotating basis.
