ONOFF

‘Seoul Art Space Geumcheon’ is an artist residence that supports experimental and new artists. <ONOFF> is an annual report and booklet published by Seoul Art Space Geumcheon. <ONOFF> consists of <2021 Seoul Art Space Geumcheon Annual Report>, which contains the works of the 12th tenant artists, and a booklet <LIFE LOGING: 2021 Seoul Art Space Geumcheon> that collects and records the daily lives of the tenant artists at the Seoul Art Space Geumcheon.

"ONOFF" is a publication that embodies artists with both identities as artists and residents with the concepts of "ON" and "OFF." The Annual Report, which reflects ON as an artist, was created in the form of information-oriented books, and LIFE LOGING, which contains OFF as a resident, was designed in a free and diverse format reflecting the image of each artist.

We applied consistent graphics and typography to the front of the cover to build visual unity, and reflected the characteristics of books that have different visual characteristics but share topics. In particular, when taking books out of the film box, graphics intersect each other and ON and OFF appear, and through this visual device, we tried to show the subject of the book more clearly.

Design direction. Kwon Joonho

BIOGRAPHY
My practice is a light sarcastic in/direct reaction towards various problems and absurdities I experience because of my identity (Korean, artist, worker, a married man in his 30s, and more). My aim as an artist is to create a space of discussion for specific issues. And awaken a sense of actualization for people who share similarities in their identities with mine as political communities that take part in creating those problems. This lets me self-justify to continue with my art practice and allows me to meditate on whether I can sustainably hold being an artist as my main occupation. If I were to be asked what values my practice introduces and creates for my surrounding, my answer would be: to suggest new perspectives and mindsets when approaching life. My goal as an artist is to slowly change our everyday life by observing something as an issue, realizing the core of this issue, and then creating empathy from other people to generate new reactions towards them.

Biography
Lately, I saw this sentence on the road. “If you make a concession, this road becomes a comfortable road, and if you compete, this road becomes a death road” Sometimes the truth is light like a feather. I am always interested in superficial things and all my art works come from that superficial things. My art works begins with reality that is repetitively boring and does not allow us to escape.
 
I feel more comfortable moving my body than talking or thinking. So far, I have worked in variety of work places. Delivery service, Cooking room, Construction site, Distribution warehouse, Courier loading and unloading; in the workplace landscape, someone was always under the cool shade, and someone could not always escape the sun. Of course, I always belonged to the latter.
 
Many people say this is the era of high technology. We open new doors everyday with new expectations. We have the most advanced services and technologies that are closely connected. However, there is always someone’s boring and hard work behind it. Their work is hidden behind the high tech glare.
 
The workplaces are definitely next to us, but they are invisible to us. I want to continue working on this. When two mirrors face each other, infinitely dense spaces are created that we could not see. I will keep looking for those spaces.
