Fallout: Atoms for War & Peace

Fallout chronicles the global development of the nuclear industry, for peaceful and offensive means, examining posters that both promoted and protested its use throughout the second half of the 20th century. Featuring General Dynamics poster series, the finest examples of corporate propaganda ever created against over 60 other posters criticizing the proliferation of nuclear technology.
Curated by Angelina Lippert and Tim Medland.

Our exhibition design extrapolated Erik Nitsche’s design for Atom for Peace poster that juxtaposed a quote from Eisenhower against Einstein’s, in the form of a colorful explosion, a schism resulting from the splitting of the atom, releasing color graphics that span distances, time, and surfaces.
