100 best posters for all to see
By SHARON LING
ART and design lovers in Kuching can enjoy an array of winning posters on display at Sarawak Museum’s Dewan Tun Abdul Razak.
The exhibition celebrates the winning designs from the 100 Best Posters competition held annually in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Taking it in: University students viewing a striking poster on display in the exhibition. The posters feature a variety of techniques used by the designers, including photographs, illustrations, collage and typographic forms.
The month-long exhibition was brought to Sarawak Museum by the German Embassy in Kuala Lumpur in conjunction with the German Days event in Kuching recently.
Eye-catching: A visitor looking at an intriguing poster. Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud, who launched the event and opened the exhibition, said Sarawak would look at ways to strengthen cooperation with Germany, particularly in education and training.
He said that Germany was renowned for its technical education which could benefit Sarawak as the state sought to produce a skilled workforce for the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy.
“I would love to see German-trained engineers and technicians in Sarawak,” he said.
Variety: Visitors walking around and viewing the posters on show. German Ambassador to Malaysia Dr Gunter Gruber said the event was an opportunity for Germany and Sarawak to explore new areas of cooperation.
“I am confident that this event will lead to many other areas of cooperation in business, science, education, culture and tourism,” he said.
“It will bring Germany and Sarawak closer and allow Sarawakians to see what Germany has to offer,” he added.
The exhibition will be on until May 25. Admission is free.
