Above is my contribution to the Green Patriot Poster Project and will be included in an traveling exhibit to first appear in New York. The Canary Project's press release can be seen below.
Green Patriot Posters (The Book)
Published by Metropolis Books
a collection of 50 posters by renown graphic designers promoting sustainability
This is the first exhibition dedicated solely to the highly acclaimed multi-media design campaign, Green Patriot Posters, that will bring together more than 100 of the best contemporary poster designs promoting sustainability with a series of events, workshops and screenings.
The exhibition is produced by The Canary Project, an arts collaborative that addresses climate change and the need for a new economy. Posters from the campaign have been included in bus ads, billboards, magazines, a book (Green Patriot Posters published by Metropolis Books) and museum exhibitions. So far, the campaign has reached 4-5 million people.
Public Notice: A Green Patriot Posters Salon, curated by The Canary Project (Susannah Sayler and Edward Morris) with Ken Miller, debuts works by artists such as Julia Chiang, Kenzo Minami, Jiminie Ha, Deanne Cheuk, New Math and 2×4, and also features posters from the Green Patriot Posters campaign and book by artists Shepard Fairey, DJ Spooky, Geoff McFetridge, Michael Beirut and many others.
Opening: April 21st from 6:00-9:00pm. In response to the inevitable question "What can I do to promote sustainability?" representatives from our sponsors, Community Energy and 350.org, will be on hand to offer many options from single-clicks to marches.
