Exhibition of posters from the world's largest festival of graphic design
The Faculty of Visual Arts in cooperation with Dukley European Art Community from Budva and with the support of the National Library "Radosav Ljumović" from Podgorica will host an exhibition of the Global Biennial of Graphic Design “Golden Bee” Moscow, the biggest festival of graphic design ever. Golden Bee was founded in 1992 in order to gather the world's highest achievements in the field of posters and other fields of graphic design; to promote and encourage international cooperation that helps elevate levels of creative and spiritual potential of graphic design; to enable the creation of high standards in the design and to show the tendencies in the field of visual culture. As such, the Moscow Biennale is one of a kind catalyst of development. “Golden Bee” in Moscow, under the patronage of AGI (International Graphic Alliance), each time shows from 1000 to 1500 works by authors from 70 to 80 countries, and has therefore become the largest design competition in the world. After the show in Prague, Berlin and other world capitals, the exhibition arrives in Podgorica and it will display 140 posters, of which thirty are unique originals. The exhibition represents a cross-section of the current Biennale, and it will be opened in the attic of the National Library "Radosav Ljumović" on 12 May at 19h by its founder and president Serge Serov, who will also hold a short lecture on the tradition of “The Bee.”
