Art Sonje Web Project #2: Na Kim – Random Recollections
Art Sonje Center presents Na Kim’s typography work on its intro page of the website as the second Art Sonje Web Project.
Random Recollections
Specters of the past are hovering in the vacant museum space. Awaiting renovation, Art Sonje Center will undergo some physical changes, and the website’s intro page summons the building’s past memories. Art Sonje Center’s past exhibition titles from 1998 through 2015 are randomly selected to form (un)familiar collection of words, and to fill the currently ‘formless’ museum space, infused with memories and images.

Art Sonje Web Project
Art Sonje Web Project uses the intro page of the Art Sonje Center website to introduce web-based works. This project was curated along with the website renewal in November 2014 and was initiated with designer Na Kim’s presentation of a new Art Sonje Center identity. Based on the structure of ASJC logotype, Na Kim had presented an introductory page that divides the screen in basic RGB colors. From August 2015, new projects will be periodically presented on the intro page to hopefully foster a more free artistic communication, one that has broken free of the physical boundaries of exhibition space.
