芬兰拉赫蒂国际海报三年展已在拉赫蒂博物馆举办了40多年。在1974年夏天,Tapani Aartomaa在从华沙海报双年展回家的路上提出了举办海报展的想法。他想在芬兰举办一个新的海报展,举办时间定在在下一届华沙双年展之前,地点则就在拉赫蒂。很多人对他的想法表示怀疑,只有少数人相信他。但是,Aartomaa凭借着广泛的联系网络,坚定、专一的意志和成功的决心成功举办了第一届海报展。这就是海报展览活动在拉赫蒂的开始。


在浏览过去30年的陈列展品目录时,很容易得出这样的结论:自从1974年第一届拉赫蒂双年展以来,好海报的定义几乎从未改变,那些经历了几十年的海报在今天看来仍然充满了艺术魅力。这些海报讲述了和平与爱、欢乐与悲伤、希望与未来、成就和未实现的梦想的永恒故事。当探索旧的海报目录时,也很容易看到时尚和趋势与质量之间的关系。

当今世界比以往任何时候都更加视觉化。人们试图对我们产生视觉影响,我们试图对我们的环境产生视觉影响。我们不断地发送视觉信息,生活和呼吸都充满了视觉效果,而海报则是一个很好的视觉表现工具。激情万岁,海报万岁。

Lahti Poster Triennial have been held in Lahti Poster Museum for more than forty years. The exhibitions started on the initiative of Tapani Aartomaa, who came up with the idea while travelling home from the Warsaw Poster Biennial, in the summer of 1974. He wanted to arrange a new poster exhibition in Finland to be held before the next Warsaw Biennial, possibly in Lahti. Many doubted him, and just a few believed in his concept. But, Aartomaa had a wide network of contacts, a strong resolve, single-mindedness and the determination to succeed. This is how poster exhibition activities started in Lahti.

When browsing old exhibition catalogues from the past 30 years it is easy to draw a conclusion that the definition of a good poster has hardly changed at all since the first Lahti Biennial 1974. It is quite obvious that vey many of those old posters could easily be included in contemporary exhibitions. These posters tells timeless stories of peace and love, joy and sorrow, hopes and wishes, achievements and unrealized dreams. When exploring old poster catalogues it is also easy to see how little fashion and trends have to do with quality.


Today the world is more visual than ever. People try to make a visual impact on us and we try to make a visual impact on our environment. We continuously send visual messages. We live and breathe visuality the poster is an excellent tool for this. So long live passion, long live the Poster.
