My Fellow Citizens poster by Fiona Jack
"Colby Poster Printing Co. in Los Angeles is a family run business operating since 1946 who produce a significant portion of the printed material that is iconic to downtown LA. Their letterpress fluorescent posters are widely used for fiestas, carnivals and political campaigning. For this project I gave Colby a sentence and asked them to design, typeset and print 50 posters however they wished. The text was the first sentence of Barack Obama’s inauguration speech. When I went to pick up the posters a few weeks ago they told me that they had done ‘something special for me’. They had printed my posters on top of posters from the trash pile." NZ$40 each
