At every Pearl Jam show, a crowd gathers around the merchandise stand with a collective eye on one thing: the poster. Since their debut in 1990, more than 500 incredible posters have been created by over 100 diverse artists. Experience a sampling of this myriad of art in Push Me, Pull Me: Pearl Jam and the Art of the Screen-Printed Poster.
When Pearl Jam formed in Seattle in 1990, posters were one of the few ways a band could communicate with their audience. They were vital to advertising a future show, but also important for conveying, through the art and design, the identity of the band. Soon after the Grunge explosion in the early 1990s, as screen printing technology was being re-embraced for artistic purposes, Pearl Jam began commissioning posters for nearly every show they played.
Organized by EMP Museum in collaboration with Pearl Jam, Ten Club, and Ames Bros., Push Me, Pull Me: Pearl Jam and the Art of the Screen-Printed Poster presents 85 of these commissioned posters from more than 30 artists including the Ames Bros., Brad Klausen, Munk One, Ward Sutton, and others.
This new poster exhibition will be on display at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Concourse A, near Gate A-1.
I think I read somewhere this exhibit will be there for the next 3 years!! IF you have time, check out the EMP museum at Seattle Center while you're in town too, GREAT Nirvana & Jimi Hendrix exhibits there!!

Sea-Tac Airport to allow people without tickets to go past security
With the launch of the SEA Visitor Pass program that provides access to
the post-security side of the airport for people who aren't flying, we
have a few good ideas on what to do.
One of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport’s most popular displays.
In cooperation with Seattle’s MoPOP (Museum of Pop Culture - formerly
EMP Museum), “PUSH ME, PULL ME: Pearl Jam and the Art of the Screen
Printed Poster” is back!
The display, which was inside security checkpoints, had to go into
storage late last year to make room for a new airline dining location.
Now, the display is back in a pre-security checkpoint location, just
behind ticket counters in the middle of the airport.
Synopsis
When Pearl Jam formed in Seattle in 1990, posters were one of the few
ways that a band could communicate with their audience. They were vital
to advertising a future show, but also important for conveying, through
the poster artwork and layout, subtle information about the identity of
the band. Soon after the Grunge explosion in the early 1990's, as
screen printing technology was being re-embraced for artistic purposes,
Pearl Jam began commissioning posters for each show on their tours. In
the ensuing two decades, over 500 posters by 100+ artists have been
created. These posters are reflections of the artists that created them,
but they are also formed through the lens of the band. References to
the members of Pearl Jam, song lyrics, music, history, popular culture –
all of these elements are evident in these posters and become an
extension of the band. In addition, the posters illustrate one of the
band’s core values – the ability to foster a climate of creation, act as
a patron for other artists, and to comment on our society.
About Pearl Jam
Established in Seattle in 1990, the band will be formally
inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 7 , 2017 in a
ceremony in New York City. Pearl Jam has 10 studio albums, hundreds of
unique live performances and hundreds of official live concert bootleg
releases later, the band continue to be critically acclaimed and
commercially successful -- with more than 60 million albums sold
worldwide.
Pearl Jam released their Grammy Award-winning 10th studio album,
Lightning Bolt, in October, 2013. Lightning Bolt debuted at #1 on the
Billboard Top 200 chart as well as #1 on iTunes in over 50 countries.
FYI: You don't need to go through security to see the Pearl Jam exhibit. If you are landing at Seatac, exit towards baggage claim and its behind the ticketing counters.
I was at Seatac for the home shows last year and the poster exhibit at that time, although different to this, was before security, it did used to be after security previously.

It used to be behind security. They moved it a year or two ago.
