9月5日是“桃浦大楼”的第三个开幕日，“桃浦大楼”以往所有的展览和艺术项目全部撤出，让位于一个主题与形式都极为鲜明的超大型展览——《海报展》，参展艺术家多达近50位，包括部分国外艺术家，每位艺术家设计制作1至5张海报。届时，大杂烩式的“桃浦大楼”一变而为一个清一色的“海报展”。
艺术家们为什么要做海报？为什么想要重新捡起艺术的宣传功能？“桃浦大楼”组委会表示，海报展并不追求一个标准化的划分，也不是一个意识形态宣传工具，而是一次对乌托邦记忆的集体回访，是在当代情境下的重新思考和重新表达。
在“桃浦大楼”这样一个充满了乌托邦氛围的艺术项目里，采用“海报”这种最传统的宣传方式，展示一场个人化的、非标准的意识形态表达，将在当代公共空间建立起一种异质的乌托邦短语库、符号库和图像库。

September 5th will mark the third session of “TOP Events” in Shanghai. After two waves of art exhibitions and other cultural activities, “TOP Events” will present one large group show, “Poster Exhibition”, turning the building into one collective movement. This exhibition will gather almost fifty artists (including international artists), who will present more than a hundred posters.
Why posters? Why re-use this propaganda function of art? The organizers of “TOP Events” pointed out that this poster exhibition doesn’t pursue a standardized classification, nor is it an ideological propaganda event, but a collective return to an utopian memory, rethought and re-expressed in the contemporary context.
Poster is the most common propaganda media used by ideologies, it provides symbolic “positions and standards”, and holds a special place in people’s collective memory as well as individual experiences. As a traditional, nowadays declined promotion media, it is generally considered that posters have an explicit topic and a defined standpoint, possessing a standardized reproducibility. However, “Poster Exhibition” presents non-standard, individual opinions, displaying “multiple voices” all at once. It is a collective, powerful publicity, which responds to the idea of “propaganda” itself, it questions targets and enemies of contemporary art. “Poster Exhibition” with this sense of power, can hopefully create a group conjecture on the mental map of collectivist society.
In “TOP Events”, this art project will build in a contemporary space a library of heterogeneous utopian symbols, images and language.
