The Book of Distance
The Book of Distance, an exhibition held in collaboration between the Korea Foundation and the Gwangju Biennale, presented contemporary artists from 3 ASEAN countries—Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand—along with Korean artists. Their contemporary approach utilized various media and techniques to examine social and cultural issues.
This exhibition, organized in collaboration between the Korea Foundation, which has played a bridging role in international diplomacy, and the Gwangju Biennale, Korea’s largest contemporary art festival, was held at the KF Gallery in Seoul, the Asia Culture Center in Gwangju, and the ASEAN Culture House in Busan.
To embody the exhibition’s theme, Front Kit conceptualized a design that connects the experiences of artists existing in different times and spaces, allowing their artistic worlds to converge and expand in meaning. A neatly arranged grid was chosen as the key visual, serving as both a baseline for the exhibition title and a structural element that highlights each artwork.
