To counter popular beliefs about the recent retrograde nature of the Polish poster, artists Piotr Kunce and Monika Nowak curated the exhibition Post No Bills, featuring a selection of posters that span the last two decades. Prominent figures such as Roman Kalarus and co-curator Kunce's work appear alongside newly baptized voices from Rafał Olbiński's daughter, Natalia Olbińska, and Maria Mileńko. The posters display an aesthetic drawn heavily from the tradition and graphic sensibility of the famed Polish masters. The hook is strong, and though the content is a mixed bag, it sporadically catches.
