The exhibition my favourite game opens its doors on the 14th of
July 2007 at the Public Art Gallery in Ithaca, Greece. The exhibition was
organised as a parallel event of the 2007 Ten Images for Ithaca
competition. It consists of posters created by designers from
different parts of the world, known mostly for their contemporary
progressive style and common work method. These are all designers
that more or less work in the outskirts of what we call
“experimental design”. Free and bold, ready to confound designing
facts and conventions and thus creating a team that produces cutting
edge design, Xavier Antin (France), Sara de Bondt (United Kingdom),
Company (United Kingdom), Eric Ellis (USA), Oded Ezer (Israel), Jare
(Switcherland), Richard Niessen (Netherlands) and Andrea Tinnes
(Germany), all give their totally personal answer to the theme “my
favourite game”.
The technique in which the posters are exhibited is also some kind of
a game: each designer had four square areas to design and apply them
in any way he/she chose, creating united compositions of different
shapes and styles. Subsequently, classic table games, experimental
typefaces, mind games, constructions and comments on contemporary
urban culture are exhibited together producing a multidimensional
multi ethnic composition, offering eight different versions of what a
game could be.
On the same day, the exhibition of the contest Ten Images for Ithaca
begins, with the ten winning posters at the port promenade and the
shortlisted works at the Public Art Gallery.
