Printed invitation to the 2020 Brooklyn Artists Ball that never got to be this past April.

Main invitation component: folded black paper, printed 1/1-color silver × 2 hits + tipped-on photo panel, printed 1-color black on reflective chrome board. Tipped-on image: “Pat Cleveland on the dance floor during Halston’s disco bash at Studio 54, 1977,” by Guy Marineau. Interior panel image: “Stroke of Midnight at Studio (detail), 1978–79,” by Dustin Pittman.

This visual identity was designed for the Europäischer Kultursommer Fellbach (European Cultural Summer Festival Fellbach). Which is a three month festival about cultural exchange within Europe and its countries. Every third year the city of Fellbach is inviting artists, musicians and actors of one country to take part at this festival. This years invitee was France. The design is playing with daily-life photography. Two images face each other and in this way they interact with each other to tell a story.

Migrating Objects: Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas in the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. The exhibition catalogue focuses on an obscure and crucial episode of Peggy Guggenheim’s collecting as she turned towards arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. Thirty-five artworks are presented for the first time as a cohesive whole, accompanied by essays offering a critical stance on the violence of theft and misappropriation of such works, especially in the context of modern art collecting. Edited by curator Vivien Greene, and designed with Neil Donnelly. Published by PGC and Marsilio Editori, 2020. 156 pages, 8.5×11.25 in.

IndieLisboa was postponed from the end of April to the end of August (fingers crossed). IndieLisboa is a Portuguese film festival focusing on the exhibition of works that fill the void of film circulation shaped by the mainstream production and exhibition dominating the market.

We try to reflect on the topic of the digital age and respond to the context of the time in which we live through social networks. Platforms like instagram have become powerful tools for self-expression and sharing.

Originally this summer, I planned to go to Rotterdam and attend a residency in TTHQ, run by Team Thursday and Koen Taselaar. There, I wanted to further develop my A4 drawing work, which I started last year. I reserved a place to stay and started planning my stay at the end of last year, but the pandemic happened and delayed my residency. Since then, it has become impossible to send mail from Korea to any place overseas. It felt unreal that the physical exchange method was suddenly blocked while I was living in an era in which everything is still possible. Is it possible to have a residency when travel is limited? It was an opportunity to think about the meaning of the residency of the “New Normal” era.

“Nomaden auf Zeit – Bilder einer Familie aus Marokko / Nomades en Transit – Photos d’une famille marocaine” is a book about one of the last traditionally living nomadic families from the Ait Atta tribe in Morocco. The life of the family in the Atlas Mountains was documented by a team of archaeologists over four years. The focus is on powerful and intimate pictures by the Moroccan photographer Abdellah Azizi. The 320-page publication is published to accompany the exhibition at the Historical and Ethnological Museum in St. Gallen, which is open now.

A family with five children, plus 200 sheep and goats, all their belongings on the back of a couple of dromedaries and mules. The whole year round on the way from pasture to pasture between two mountain ranges at altitudes up to 3000m. This is the everyday life of one of the last traditionally living nomadic families from the Ait Atta tribe in Morocco. The exhibition “Nomaden auf Zeit” shows their way of life and culture. This poster was designed for the exhibition which took place in the Historical and Ethnological Museum in St. Gallen. It was never printed because it was not clear for a long time when the museum could reopen because of the virus.
