Some of the posters are related to installations that Guillaum Bijl made. He (co-)designed them himself and sees them as graphical extensions of his art practice. The posters are usually shown in the city, so that the man in the street gets involved (the name ‘Guillaume Bijl’ is added very small at the side of the posters, as a copyright). Then there are the posters that accompany the Guillaume Bijl expostions, like the expo in S.M.A.K. or in Graz. Here Bijl also always tries to be involved with the design. He doesn’t trust graphic designers too much.
