September has been a fantastic very well spent month in the USA, and very much all about gigposters (and meeting nice people and having good food). Hosted by Portland posterstar Guy Burwell, Mirjam Dijkema and Kunny van der Ploeg (Studio Frontaal) travelled to the US West Coast for a good 3 weeks. We curated a postershow at The Vera Project in Seattle, exhibiting over a 100 posters from the Vera Groningen archives, and also did a talk about big sister Vera to small sister Vera Project, and included also our personal work and influences. Oh and we gave a workshop, as well! In the same week we also attended Flatstock 31 at the Fisher Pavillion, Seattle Bumbershoot festival, a 3 day poster event full of posters, posters and posters, and meeting very nice colleagues. Last but not least we had a great day in Portland at the MusicfestNW Poster Mart . It was great to be a part of the very lively posterscene in the US, selling work, sharing work, showing work and we are very much inspired to bring that same liveliness back to the European scene.
