Plastered : The Poster Art of Australian Popular Music.
Murray Walding, Nick Vukovic
Posters are the backdrop to our daily lives and travels. Ephemeral by nature, they are glanced at and often forgotten, plastered over in our memory as they are on the walls. As art, though, posters have a unique immediacy. They reflect the trends of the time and reveal subtle shifts in style and design. They act as barometers of cultural relevance and can offer real-time social commentary and political satire. PLASTERED leads us on a chronological journey through popular music poster art - the jazz, rock and roll, pop and punk scenes in Australia. More than five hundred posters from the past five decades are reproduced, most from the collection of avid archivist Nick Vukovic, and featuring the work of renowned poster artists such as Ian McCausland and Reg Mombassa. Roger Butler from the National Gallery of Australia tells us where poster art sits in the world of fine art and Murray Walding evokes the stories of the artists, promoters and performers that surround these posters.
