Contemporary Posters
The Contemporary collection gathers 12 reports from the recent past, a period already difficult to verify. Here, a basketball player acquired impractical reach, Marta Werweiss received her retrospective, and a woman wrote a bestseller before breakfast. Elsewhere, the courier of forgotten colours continued his route without official recognition. Festival de Cumbia Magnética survived its paperwork. Were-W brought living typography to a public that may or may not have been prepared. These Contemporary posters treat the present as it has always wished to be treated: with serious typography, borrowed evidence, and a faint administrative error. A cultural history of uncertain accuracy, filed under Era.

Frequently asked questions
- What paper are Contemporary posters printed on?
- Each Contemporary poster is produced on Premium Matte Paper. It is 200 gsm (80 lb), FSC-certified or equivalent, and acid-free. The surface is smooth and non-reflective, which suits the collection’s photographs, paper fragments, typographic remains, and occasional official-looking confusion.
- Which sizes are available in the Contemporary collection?
- Contemporary posters are available in three vertical sizes: A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm), A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm), and A2 (42 × 59.4 cm). No frames are offered. The poster ships unframed, leaving the final institutional decision to its recipient.
- How are Contemporary posters produced and delivered?
- Contemporary posters are printed on demand through ASC’s local production network in 22 countries, as close as possible to the destination. Delivery usually takes 3–4 business days within that network and 4–12 business days elsewhere. Free worldwide shipping is included in the product price.
- Can I return a Contemporary poster, and will customs apply?
- Returns are accepted within 14 calendar days from the date of arrival. Customs duties generally do not apply when a poster is produced within the buyer’s customs region. In rare cross-border cases, duties may apply. The bureaucracy, like the history, varies by location.
