On this Friday, May 22nd at 7pm, watch me roll out our book to the Korean media -- IN KOREAN! I'm planning to talk about not just the Korean fashion scene and photography, but also about Korea's nation branding efforts from the point-of-view of a member sitting on President's Council on Nation Branding. This book is not just the culmination of years of work that represents a whole new look at "Korea," but is an example of literally putting one's money where one's mouth is. This is a representation of a Korea that is fresh, young, and hip -- not the dry, sanitized, and tourism board-approved fare that defines most visual representation of Korea produced IN Korea. In that sense, this is something very, very different. Come see HOW different for yourself.
The talk is going to be a conversation, and a slide presentation showing many images from the book.
Friday's the time to ask questions, make comments, and even buy a copy!
The Platoon Kunsthalle in Cheongdam-dong is hosting the presentation and afterparty, so it will be informative, intellectual, and fun! Come support some of Seoul's hardworking and independent artists!
