This right here is two sides of what what originally a sandwich-board made by mister Dylan C. Lathrop aka Unequal Design in collaboration with visiting guests Experimental Jetset at his class at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. The answer side is a poem, “Answer” by Bei Dao, while the question side asks about the first year’s decisions made by our current president and our former president. Lovely cuts.

To fully understand this project, you simply must visit the full documentation at the website of the professor of the class Experimental Jetset visited at the MCAD, Erik Brandt. The photos below were lifted from the linked post. Here it is linked again, because you gotta see: http://geotypografika.com/2009/03/27/grd_5010-experimental-jetset/

The Answer & The Question /

Two posters — originally worn as a sandwich board — created during a workshop with Experimental Jetset at the Minneapolis College of Art & Design. The Answer, a poem written by Bei Dao, was used 20 years ago in theTiananmen Square. The poem is a symbol of protest, one that begs the reader to question the actions of those in charge. The companion poster, The Question, illustrates the scenarios of George H.W. Bush’s first year in office as President of the united states comparing that to the situations of our current President, Barack Obama. The idea is that no matter what the sitation, looking for questions and answers from the people in power is a needed excercise.
