Svetlana and Alexander Faldin received the Gold Medal at the 17th Poster Biennale in 2000 for their "Against smoking"
poster, which later received a couple of other medals. It is reported that some jury members (especially the smokers)
shivered when they saw it.
The Faldins came to the Laureate exhibition, and we discussed their web exhibition, which has been cooking for a while already. |

The Warsaw jury in 2000: Mieczyslaw Wasilewski, Seymour Chwast, Ralph Schraivogel, Heinz Edelmann and Andrzej Klimowski. Chwast's selfportrait is from his web site. Melk Imboden snapped Edelmann's portrait, maybe at the exact moment he saw the Faldin poster. |
