Curators Janneke Schönenbach
e Olaf Arndt invited international
artists to create work on the
theme of “security” after 9/11.
Along with the main exhibition
there was a parallel poster-based
initiative with six internationally
reknown graphic artists
(Jonathan Barnbrook, Neville
Brody, Fons Hickmann, Gunter
Rambow, Yuko Shimizu,
Omar Vulpinari) that expaned
the project into the city.

Vulpinari’s poster was inspired
by Cerberum, the two headed
dog at the gates of Dante's
Inferno. The ambiguos guard dog
reminds of the dual consequences
of security and surveillance today.

Vulpinari contributed his
“Cerberum” as “brand symbol”
to the robot art project of
Schönenbach, Vaupel e Arndt.
