Copy/Paste/Print/Repeat: Mike King & the Art of the Gig Poster
Exhibition design for Copy/Paste/Print/Repeat: Mike King & the Art of the Gig Poster on view at Poster House. Mike King is America’s most prolific gig poster artist. What began as a means of promoting his own bands’ shows in the late 1970s gradually morphed into a full-time specialty in the art of the eye-catching concert poster.
The posters in this exhibition are a mere slice of a much larger visual pie—a taste of some of Mike’s rarest posters from a thirty-year spread within his ongoing career. They highlight shifts in both the available technology for making posters, from fully analog to digital, as well as how the function of gig posters has evolved from advertisements to collectible merchandise.

Utopia in Our Time: The Posters of Molly Crabapple
Exhibition design for Utopia in Our Time: The Posters of Molly Crabapple on view at Poster House. Enchanting, haunting, and poignant, illustrator Molly Crabapple’s posters showcase the resilience of community, the power in solidarity, and the spirit of celebration.
This exhibition attempts to capture the artist’s boundless spirit and beautiful work by framing it in a world all her own. Much like her life experience, Molly’s posters are far-reaching, but, most importantly, they are centered around humanity.
