The Tallinn Print Triennial is seeking a graphic designer (or collective) to create the design and visual communication for the upcoming triennial. The next triennial will focus on contemporary art from the surrounding region and will open in June 2025 at the Tallinn Art Hall Lasnamäe Pavilion. The main exhibition, curated by Marika Agu, will explore the complexities of preserving memory in a constant stream of information, while searching for new approaches to traditional methods of memory retention, taking into account political changes, technological tools, and their development.
The main exhibition of the triennial will focus on the following keywords: memory culture, organic and mineral memory, notes, déjà-vu, amnesia, asemic writing, codes, languages, data carriers, data accumulation and devaluation, melancholy, anxiety, intertwined past-present-future.
Interested candidates are invited to submit 1–3 design drafts that are inspired by the exhibition’s keywords and reflect initial ideas and creative direction. Along with this, please send a portfolio of previous graphic design work and a short cover letter expressing your motivation and interest in the graphic designer position for the Tallinn Print Triennial.
