Miltos Manetas
Tirana Biennale
Greek-born artist Miltos Manetas (then living in the US, now living in the UK) contacted us first in August 2000. In fact, we had heard of each other before: earlier that year, we had designed the catalog and sign system for Elysian Fields, a group exhibition that took place at the Centre Pompidou (see Elysian Fields), and Miltos was part of that show.

This poster would be hanging on the streets of Milan, during the exhibition that Miltos Manetas was curating at Galleria Pack in Milan, Italy. Running from March 15 to April 15, 2006, the exhibition was titled SuperNeen, named after Neen, one of Miltos' signature art movements.
