Resist!

Peace appeals, reminders of human rights, calls to protect nature - posters have proven an effective medium in accompanying social and political struggles worldwide since the 1920s. Through the poster, these universal and timeless topics are able to reach a broad public and encourage critical debate.While some posters are meant to shed light and are aimed at refl ection, others appeal more strongly to the emotions of their audience. Some dismantle past and present autocrats cynically, ironically or humorously - while others construct idols that exemplify a different world. Dystopian images function as a provocation and warning, while utopian messages keep the belief in change alive. Symbols such as the raised fi st or the dove of peace demonstrate their global and lasting power in ever newinterpretations. Proven visual formulas and argumentation strategies are taken up in posters of the latest civil protest movements and are supplemented by new rhetoric.The designers, acting individually or collectively, are united by commitment and an emancipatory attitude as well as the conviction that resistance requires its own aesthetic in order to function. The publication brings together works from around one hundred years that demonstrate the tradition of the poster as a medium of protest and assert its validity and necessity in the present day.

Richard Paul Lohse

Zwanzig Jahre nach der letzten musealen Werkschau widmet das MASI Lugano Richard Paul Lohse eine umfangreiche Retrospektive und Publikation. Das ambitionierte Projekt unterstreicht die Bedeutung von Lohses Werk und die zentrale Position, die er in der internationalen Kunstwelt mit seiner Malerei einnimmt. Mit einer Auswahl von mehr als vierzig Gemälden aus den vier maßgeblichen Jahrzehnten seiner künstlerischen Laufbahn, von den 1940er-Jahren bis zu seinem Tod, beleuchten die Autor*innen grundlegende Elemente seiner strengen methodischen Arbeitsweise wie auch historische Ereignisse, soziale Utopien und Lohses Vertrauen in die expressive Kraft der Farbe. Richard Paul Lohse (1902, Zürich-1988, Zürich) war ein Schweizer Maler und Grafiker. Er gehört zu den Begründern der systematisch-konstruktiven Kunst im 20. Jahrhundert.

Fahrgastinformationssystem. Passenger Information System

1980 legte Josef Müller-Brockmann mit seinem legendären Handbuch "Visuelles Informationssystem in Bahnhöfen und Stationen" den Grundstein für ein einheitliches Erscheinungsbild der Schweizerischen Bundesbahnen (SBB). Angesichts der Mehrsprachigkeit des Landes bot das Manual ein von Sprache weitgehend losgelöstes Leitsystem: Mit der funktional gedachten Typografie konzipierte der Pionier der Schweizer Grafik eine intuitiv verständliche Signaletik, die mit Beschriftungen das ganze Land vernetzt und auch ortsunkundige Fahrgäste mithilfe von Piktogrammen an ihr Ziel führt. Das visuelle Konzept entstand im Dialog mit SBB-Chefarchitekt Uli Huber und war ebenso umfassend wie nachhaltig, sodass es die Identität des Unternehmens bis heute prägt.Das 1992 erheblich erweiterte und nun "Fahrgastinformationssystem" genannte Handbuch ist ein mustergültiges Beispiel für komplexe Gestaltungsprojekte, die durch äusserste Rationalität und Konsistenz den Bedürfnissen der Benutzer gerecht werden und Designern weltweit als Kompass in der täglichen Praxis dienen. Der vorliegende Nachdruck mit englischer Übersetzung macht das Handbuch erstmals einem breiten Publikum zugänglich. Der Beitrag von Andres Janser verortet es im konzeptuellen Schaffen des Grafikers und im internationalen Systemdesign der Eisenbahnen jener Zeit.
