Hong Kong International Poster Triennial 2024 at Hong Kong Heritage Museum 

The “Hong Kong International Poster Triennial” jointly presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and the Hong Kong Designers Association, and organised by the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, is now in its eighth edition since its debut in 2001. The theme of this Triennial is “Multiverse”, exploring how the function of posters as a medium for conveying messages can be extended in an era where digital, technological, and multimedia techniques are widely used. We invite designers worldwide to unleash their creativity to pioneer new fields that are diverse and interdisciplinary. The call of entry of this Triennial is divided into four categories, namely “Thematic: Multiverse”, “Promotion of Cultural Programmes”, “Commercial and Advertising” and “Animated Poster”. A total of 3,189 entries from 55 countries/ regions were received.

This year, two independent specialist judging panels are formed by prominent international designers and team. Members of the printed poster judging panel are Eric Chan (Hong Kong, China), Huang Hai (China), Felix Pfäffli (Switzerland), Shinnoske Sugisaki (Japan) and Eva Wendel (Germany). Members of the animated poster judging panel are Henry Chu (Hong Kong, China), Thomas Widdershoven (the Netherlands), and team Tin Nguyen and Edward Cutting (Australia/the United States). The judges have gone through online judging, video conferencing, as well as onsite judging for printed posters to assess the entries based on originality, creativity and technical competence. Ultimately, 155 entries including 18 award-winning entries and 137 selected entries, as well as works contributed by the international judges are featured in the exhibition. Through graphic design, we traverse the infinite boundaries of creative imagery with the audience.

The Hong Kong Heritage Museum and the Hong Kong Designers Association have jointly held the "Hong Kong International Poster Triennial" (HKIPT) since 2001. Through competitions, exhibitions and symposiums, the event documents the development of international poster design. In addition to calling for printed posters from three categories – "Ideology", "Promotion of Cultural Events" and "Commercial and Advertising" – this is the first year the HKIPT invited designers to submit digital posters with motion features for the "Animated Poster" category. Over 2000 entries were submitted from about 50 countries for the competition.

The professional judging panel, which included Mr Bi Xuefeng, from the People's Republic of China, Mr Erich Brechbühl, from Switzerland, Mr Yukimasa Okumura, from Japan, and Ms Lisa Pommerenke, from Germany, selected 16 award-winning posters and 100 entries for the exhibition. Together with donated posters created by the four international graphic designers, the exhibition reflects the diverse culture and creativity of graphic designers around the world in still and motion.

20/20 Hong Kong Print Art Exhibition
Oct
7
to Sep 6

20/20 Hong Kong Print Art Exhibition

Footprints in the sand; 
Pencil rubbings of a leaf; 
Colourful patterns on a T-shirt – 

These are images printed from a "matrix" and the more common forms of "print art". Print art can be found in nature and in our daily life. But we live in an ocean of images, with internet memes, mobile phone snapshots, banner ads and infographics at our fingertips. For most of us, print art is probably associated with vague, distant memories of works such as Campbell's Soup Cans by Andy Warhol or The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai. 

In fact, Hong Kong artists started creating prints as early as the 1930s, producing elaborate and diverse images by experimenting with different printing materials and techniques. Artists from different generations have portrayed social life in their prints, explored new directions for modern culture through colours and abstract forms, and blazed new trails in print art by adopting the latest technology and innovative techniques. Even today, artists are still fascinated by the meticulous process of printmaking and the textures of ink and paper. Their works reflect on life in Hong Kong and contemplate the evolution of contemporary culture. They are also a visual representation of the complex human psyche.
