Rodchenko 120

April 26 - June 10, 2013

Peeler Art Center, University Gallery (upper level)

On the occasion of the 120th birthday of Aleksandr Rodchenko, 20 of the best Russian poster artists of today formed a collaborative called “Rodchenko 120” to design a poster in memory of the late Constructivist artist. The posters, first exhibited as part of "Moscow Design Week," are currently on display in Europe and the United States through 2013.  Sergey Serov, the committee organizer for Moscow Design Week, writes "The posters are not only a tribute to the great artist, but a reflection on the historical destiny of graphic design."  DePauw’s installation will feature the Rodchenko-inspired posters, as well as film and a number of books surveying the life of Aleksandr Rodchenko.

This exhibition is made possible by a generous donation from the Russian Academy of Graphic Design and the Moscow Biennale of Graphic Design “Golden Bee.”
