슬기와 민이라는 디자이너를 처음 알게 된것은, 서점 어느 모퉁에서 잡지를
뒤적 거리다가, 그리고 이사람들이 어떤 사람? 뭐하는 사람? 얼마나 대단한 사람?
이라는 건. 책을 통해서, 시각디자인을 공부하면서.
시각디자이인을 전공하는 사람들 중에는 아마
대부분의 사람들이 이책을 한번 쯤을 읽지 않았을까..?
오랜만에 뉴스를 검색하다 방가운 뉴스 거리가 있어서. 포스팅하게 되었다는.

About us
We are Sulki Choi and Min Choi, graphic designers in Seoul, Korea. We met in 2001 at Yale University where we both were MFA graphic design students. Since then, we have been working together on various commissioned and self-initiated projects. From 2003 until 2005 we were researchers at the Jan van Eyck Akademie in Maastricht, the Netherlands, where we participated in a research project for the cultural identity of the city of Leuven, Belgium; designed the academy’s various publications and promotional materials; and together with Tamara Maletic and Dan Michaelson (Linked by Air), designed the exhibition ‘Welcome to Fusedspace Database’ at Stroom Den Haag.
We have participated in many group exhibitions in Korea and abroad, including: ‘Parallel Life’, Frankfurter Kunstverein, 2005; ‘Frame Builders’, Insa Art Space, Seoul, 2006; ‘Graphic Design in the White Cube’, Moravian Gallery in Brno, 2006; ‘From Mars’, Moravian Gallery in Brno, 2006; Anyang Public Art Project, 2007; ‘No Paper’, 4th Ningbo International Poster Biennale, 2008; ‘100 Daehangro’, Arko Art Center, Seoul, 2009; ‘Platform in Kimusa’, former Korean Military Security Headquarters, 2009. We had our first exclusive exhibition ‘Sulki & Min: Factory 060421-060513’ at Gallery Factory, Seoul, in 2006, for which we received the Art Award of the Year 2006 from the Arts Council Korea. Our second exhibition, ‘Sulki & Min: Kimjinjye 080402- 080414’, was held at Kimjinhye Gallery, Seoul, in 2008.
Sulki is teaching at Kaywon School of Art & Design, and Min at the University of Seoul.

Works in the Open Air, poster
Poster for the outdoor exhibition at the Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art, Ansan, 2010, 594 x 841 mm. The exhibition emphasized the ‘transparency’ or ‘porosity’ of the public space, and how art plays a role in redefining, disturbing, or interconnecting the private and the public. Interestingly, the official Korean title of the exhibition is quite different to its English one: it may be translated as ‘Whatever happened to the theme park’, instead of the more neutral ‘Works in the Open Air’. We thought about the Modernist ideal of transparency, and how it became eventually fetishized over the course of the last century (‘theme park’). In the poster, we incorporated some references to Modernism: the geometric, constructed letterform of Josef Albers and the human figures created by Gerd Arntz for the Isotype system of Otto and Marie Neurath in the late 1920s. The original forms were treated in such a way to suggest ‘porosity’. See also the leaflet for the exhibition.
