Sammendrag

This article investigates the change of context and meaning making
process that occurs when posters are turned into objects for curatorial practice.
Based on historical and recent examples of poster exhibitions it suggests a
scheme for curatorial work in regard to posters and graphic design lending
from phenomenologically and materially orientated theories that give priority
to sensorial aspects of the exhibition media. Further it introduces the concept
“counterability” (da.: “gengældelse”, “modydelse”) as a tool for discussing how
posters’ dependency on the living environments can be transferred for curatorial
purposes. Finally, the concept is discussed in regard to the exhibition Spot On!
British Posters of the Interwar Years which in 2015 was held at the Danish Poster
Museum in Den Gamle By (The Old Town) in Aarhus.
