Miltos Manetas
Marx & Marinetti & Miltos & Manetas
(Before we start, here is already a spoiler: the book we are discussing in this chapter was never actually published. It is a project that was never realized).

'Jean Prouvé: De Poëzie van het Technisch Object / The Poetics of the Technical Object' was an exhibition that took place at the NAi Maastricht from May 12 to September 2, 2007. Basically, it was a retrospective devoted to the famous French engineer and architect Jean Prouvé (1901-1984).
For NAi Maastricht, we usually design both the printed matter and the sign system of the exhibition (see for example NAi / The Edible City 1 and 2).
