Neen Manifesto poster

In the beginning of 2006, artist Miltos Manetas asked us to design a poster containing one of his manifestos.

While artist Vanessa Beecroft was having her retrospective exhibition in Korea (see VBRS), she also organized a performance that took place on February 27, 2007, at Shinsegae, a large department store in Seoul. She asked us to design the invitation.
