korea now!

The core idea of the visual concept for the “Korea Now!” exhibition is to establish connections through the use of empty space. In Korean culture, emptiness is not a place where nothing happens, but a space where anything is possible. 

The exhibition design included an installation in the lobby of Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris with typographic mobiles and a forest of kakemonos, the names of the three exhibitions with typographic sculptures, and a text system for the rooms and labels, as well as the design of the catalogues presenting the three “Korea Now!” exhibitions on Korean design, crafts, graphic arts and fashion.
