Biennale poster designed by Formes Vives
From 13 May to 24 september 2017
This event is the suite of 26 editions of a major festival for graphic design and for Chaumont.
Le Signe now offers this permanent
venue for the discipline and its actors.
Le Signe, with the exceptional cultural
facilities, proposes a comprehensive
program all year round, including
exhibitions, workshops for all
audiences as part of laboratory
for creating forms, student workshops,
lectures, gatherings and vocational
training courses, as well as a cycle
for discovering graphic design
intended for the young.
Le Signe manages a collection
of close to 50 000 posters giving
researchers, teachers and students
access to it on site or by means
of on-line resources.
A resource centre is shortly to come
in order to accompany research in
design.
The program of le Signe is now
enhanced and unfolded every
two years, in the springtime during
the Biennale de design graphique
de Chaumont. Its program is based
on all the ingredients that have
ensured the success of the event
so far and offers even denser
moments to share ideas and meet up.
The 2017 Biennale de design
graphique gives a particular
focus on transmission
and research by proposing
7 workshops for students
and young professionals,
an exhibition of the student
competition that questioned
the production of signs and
tools for the transmission of
knowledge, and an exhibition
designed as a cartography
of graphic design research.
Contemporary poster design
will be present in the exhibition
of the international poster
competition while public space
will be punctuated by various
installations.
Lectures, participative workshops,
a salon for graphic design
editions and activities free of
charge and open to all audiences
complete this program.
The Biennale Village will locate on the Place des Arts, in front of le Signe. In the Village you can have a drink, a meal and attend concerts every day from 13 to 21 May.
The Biennale hence questions the
practices and the development
of graphic design in a festive and
friendly atmosphere favourable
to exchanges and discoveries.
Come and discover
le Signe and its team!
All to Chaumont!
