This is it, the poster by Film by the Sea 2019
VLISSINGEN – A Zeeland Mona Lisa, that’s what she’s already called. Rosanne Hustinx is featured on the Film by the Sea 2019 poster. It was designed by Paulina Matusiak.
The new artwork is an important calling card for Jan Doense, who succeeded Leo Hannewijk at the end of last year as director of the Zeeland film festival. He emphatically wanted something different than last year, when a painting by Aat Veldhoen adorned the poster. “But I also want to show the public that I want the best for them, so it shouldn’t be something that shocks.”
Doense sought collaboration with Matusiak, whom he has known for a long time. “At the Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival – now Imagine Film Festival – we worked together a few times. That has led to three posters that people are still talking about. So I thought: if Paulina can make something with a similar impact for Film by the Sea, then we’re on the right track.â€
Exciting
Coincidentally, Matusiak was already involved in the film festival before. In 2000, at the second edition of Film by the Sea, she assisted Anthon Beeke in making the poster. “Looking at all the artwork from the festival over the past 20 years, I found early posters such as those by Beeke and Anton Corbijn to be the most exciting,” says Doense.
This year’s poster features “a stylized version of a Zeeland woman”, as the festival director calls it. She wears a Zeeland cap, which Matusiak made of fine gold-colored mesh. The woman has a book in her hands and ribbons flutter around her like film strips. The surf is visible in the background. Doense: “I thought it was especially important to see what the festival stands for: Zeeland, the sea, film and books.†The logo of the festival has also been modernized.
The new poster will be on a large format from 11 June on the facade of CineCity in Vlissingen. That day is the traditional Amuse, where Matusiak is present. Then the festival trailer is also presented, which forms a unity with the poster.

Museum für gestaltung Zürich
So pleased to announce that my work has been selected for The Poster Collection of The Museum for Gestaltung Zürich, the most extensive and important archives of its kind in the world. They are now accessible on https://www.emuseum.ch and available for loans and publication projects of international museums and for research projects in a wider context.
The Poster Collection features over 350,000 posters, 120,000 of them researched and inventoried, and documents Swiss and international poster history—including political, commercial, and cultural posters—from its beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. The geographical emphasis—itself determined by the history of poster design—is on Switzerland, Europe, Japan, Cuba, the former Soviet Union, and the United States. The collection is continually expanded and brought up to date in dialogue with contemporary output and acknowledging historical achievements.
The collection’s historical, thematic, and geographical diversity offers both a survey of poster art and a look into a visual archive of the everyday world. In addition to the principal questions of graphics and typology, the collection also concentrates on a socio-political understanding of design, as posters reflect in a unique way the aesthetic and social processes of a particular era.
adieu Anthon!
A tribute to our mentor Anthon Beeke.
With a group of dear friends and former colleagues we unfold a 7×12 meter version of one of Anthon’s most unsettling posters.
It was seen in the city center (on the day of Anthon’s funeral). Adieu Anthon!

TEXTURA A Polish Touch @Tent London 2017
We are proud to announce our cooperation with the Adam Mickiewicz Institute
for TEXTURA A Polish Touch,an exhibition at TENT LONDON
during the LONDON DESIGN FAIR 2017.
TEXTURA. A Polish touch
The exhibition features a broad overview of Polish projects, celebrating design with a tactile quality and
exploring the unique potential of different materials and textures.
Weaving techniques and patterns are highlighted throughout the designs as the exhibit brings together works
representing the past and the present, as well as a diversity of production methods and material applications.
The exhibition interweaves objects with fabrics, like an avant-garde Polish tapestry combining different materials
in unconventional ways and allowing new qualities to emerge.
Through new unruly, subtle, mysterious and harmonious combinations, the designs mutually
amplify their expression and tell a new story.

De Theaterafficheprijs 2013
door Jessica Kuitenbrouwer | gepubliceerd: 13 november 2013
De Theaterafficheprijs, die tot twee jaar geleden werd uitgereikt door het Theater Instituut Nederland, zal vanaf november 2013 tweejaarlijks worden toegekend aan de vormgever van het beste theateraffiche van een professionele Nederlandse theatervoorstelling.
Na de opheffing van het Theater Instituut Nederland werd de Theaterafficheprijs voor het seizoen 2011-2012 niet uitgereikt, maar na de overname van de TIN-collectie door Bijzondere Collecties van de Universiteit van Amsterdam, heeft zij samen met het Wim Crouwel Instituut besloten om de prijs dit jaar opnieuw uit te geven onder de naamMart.Spruijt Theaterafficheprijs. Per seizoen worden er tien theateraffiches voor de prijs genomineerd door een door Bijzondere Collecties samengestelde jury.
Omdat er vorig jaar geen prijsuitreiking was, zal dit jaar op 21 november zowel de prijs voor het beste affiche van seizoen 2011-2012 als die voor seizoen 2012-2013 worden uitgereikt in de Aula van de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Een van de grote kanshebbers is Paulina Matusiak. Zij is drie keer genomineerd voor de affiches die zij maakte voor Danstheater Aya. Voor seizoen 2011-2012 is zij genomineerd voor haar affiche van de productie Hart en voor het seizoen 2012-2013 voor de affiches van Bite enHarnas.
