Located in a grand neo-classical building in Parc des Bastions, the Bibliothèque de Genève is the University of Geneva library. The library hosts events such as exhibitions, conferences, talks, and workshops. Noteworthy among its regular programs is the December exhibition on the history of the Escalade, and the recurring event “Les jeudis midi à l’affiche,” featuring guest speakers discussing graphic posters from the library’s collection.
Vincent Schambacher, a graphic artist, delves into the layering of media and texts, traversing spaces from squats to festivals and museums. His 45-minute talk, followed by a discussion, takes place as part of the “Thursday Noon Poster Talks,” an initiative to showcase the Library’s collection and regional graphic design innovations.
