This exhibition is a first attempt by LIFO to map the lively and unclassifiable world of Greek illustrators. Many have already had illustrations published in LIFO, others became known due to their presence on the walls of the city, through advertising and magazines. The exhibition will take place at the Benaki Museum in Athens, Greece from 30 June to 25 July. Participants: b., Yiannis Kouroudis, Lina Theodorou, Marios Perakis, this is amateur, Η.Ο.P.E., SOX, Ark, Fuckin Quits, Bestbefore, Ιndyvisuals, The Erasers.

In magazines and newspapers, on web-pages, the covers of musical collections and t-shirts, on product packaging and the walls of major cities, illustration has become a powerful tool for visual communication over the past few years. Now, many years past modernism, which rejected the commercialisation of art, the distinction between art and illustration has become blurred and vague.

This first exhibition also includes a special tribute to established Greek-American artist Steve Giannakos aimed at encouraging debate and reflection on how art and illustration are linked or are osmotically affected by each other, if they are not identical.
