Mannam (Korean for meeting) investigates the relationships between Korean and non-Korean designers based in New York City.
From June 15, Mannam presents the fourth dialogue:
Standard Local Time with Chris Ro & Huy Vu.
This project is an attempt at bridging the geographic, temporal, and emotional distance between two people who live half a world apart: one participant is in Korea, the other in New York. Over the course of the show, their conversation will take residence in Project No. 8 in the form of two fax machines that will display feelings, declarations, and ideas in a common and public space. This setting allows them to have a disjointed dialogue that, due to an extreme time zone difference, happens simultaneously at night and day. Visitors to Project No.8 are encouraged to send their own faxes and join the conversation.

Mannam
Five Graphic Dialogues in New York
In partnership with the design-oriented stores Project No. 8 and 8b, Mannam (Korean for meeting) investigates the relationships between Korean and non-Korean designers. Participants are invited to start with one-on-one dialogues, and to generate form that responds to both their developing dialogue, and the context of the commercial space. Recording or keeping a record of these dialogues in some way is required, and at the project’s completion, the curators will search the transcripts for significant moments, engage in a dialogue of our own, and publish a survey and archive of the project.
Mannam is an experimental method for the generation and exhibition of original work by graphic designers. We believe that the displayable and interpretable work of a graphic designer should not be limited to a discrete and familiar “deliverable”, but can be broadened to include their research, their self-education, their thought process, etc. In the end, Mannam is an opportunity to publicly present work of designers we admire.

Spacebuster by Raumlabor “Spacebuster is a mobile inflatable structure – a portable, expandable pavilion – that is designed to transform public spaces of all kinds into points for community gathering. A new iteration of a past Raumlabor project, the K¸chenmonument (presented in Europe in 2006-8), the Spacebuster will make its first appearance in the US this evening and will travel throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn for 10 consecutive evenings hosting various community events.” We missed one chance, but still there are five more events in New York until April 26. Check it out here: www.storefrontnews.org. Catch spacebuster on youtube
