Out of Town Exhibition | TGD vol. 03

Since its very first and iconic cover issued in 1925, The New Yorker gradually became an international benchmark for the illustration world. Through almost a century, a simple illustrated cover evolved into a structure of stories of the city as seen by the eyes of the Flâneur, that gentleman who wanders curiously along the streets, passionately looking at the life and the landscape around him. Out of Town aims to tell the international impact that The New Yorker covers have on the illustration world through several tribute projects that want to pay hommage to their own cities: so the life of Paris, Tokyo and Montréal is described through the eyes and the pencil of 120 illustrators coming from all over the world. Concurrently, The Not Yorker project explores behind the scenes of this institution, displaying some of the beautiful rejected submissions that, in the past, didn’t make it to the cover of the famous magazine. Out of Town gathers all these tributes, celebrating their message, their style and their poetics.
