This article investigates the change of context and meaning makingprocess that occurs when posters are turned into objects for curatorial practice.Based on historical and recent examples of poster exhibitions it suggests ascheme for curatorial work in regard to posters and graphic design lendingfrom phenomenologically and materially orientated theories that give priorityto sensorial aspects of the exhibition media. Further it introduces the concept“counterability” (da.: “gengældelse”, “modydelse”) as a tool for discussing howposters’ dependency on the living environments can be transferred for curatorialpurposes. Finally, the concept is discussed in regard to the exhibition Spot On!British Posters of the Interwar Years which in 2015 was held at the Danish PosterMuseum in Den Gamle By (The Old Town) in Aarhus.
