WW1 WW2 Curation

As a continuation to my previous exhibition layout. This exhibit displays large propaganda posters from World War 1 and 2. In the first exhibition I displayed 3 recruiter posters and removed the characters from the posters to stand alone. This brought up the psychologic play that each poster was providing for the viewer. This continuation holds that same concept, each poster displaying a psychologic, almost guilt trip to get young men of the time to join their country in fighting in World War 1and 2. The propaganda posters used in this exhibition are as followed:

• "Dad's on the line busy fighting.", World War 1
• "Send more men.", World War 1
• "You're proud of your pals in the Army of course! But what will your pals think of you?" , World War 1
• "Come on, Boys!", World War 1
• "Careless Talk", World War 2
• "The first three!", World War 1
• You've got what it takes, World War 2
• "A happy new year to our gallant soldiers!", World War 1

Above is the exhibit (on the left) straight on. Although the walls themselves would not be transparent in the actual exhibit, it shows how each poster has its own viewing area that is not interfered with any other poster. As you continue the path (shown on the right) that is set up by the walls the viewer will experience the same intimate viewing as before. The individuality and size allows the viewer to enter the piece and therefore will allow the psychological triggers intended by each piece to form.
