For the realization of a graphic installation at the Plüschow Lounge in October 2007 at the Mecklenburgisches Künstlerhaus Schloß Plüschow, SCHMUCK2 and Suska Mackert invited 12 international graphic designers and artists to each design a poster under the theme GLITZ AND THEN SOME.

In addition to the installation of the posters, three additional visual artists from Germany; Cecile Belmont, Heike Bollig and Stefan Wischnewski were invited for a presentation at the Plüschow Lounge, whose artworks have their origin in the more or less glittering objects of everyday life.

Further presentations of the graphic installation followed together with accessories of the Japanese label minä perhonen during the Berlin Fashion Week in the showroom ybdd as well in the gallery “das Geschäft” in Munich on the occasion of the Sonderschau SCHMUCK at the Internationale Handwerksmesse (IHM) in 2008.

12 original posters produced by SCHMUCK2 in cooperation with Suska Mackert.
