Na Kim—SET v.19: graphic

Here, at Curatorial Research Bureau and 100 Books, Na Kim’s site-specific wall drawing titled SET v.19: graphic uses a series of formal design elements—color, pattern, geometry, typography, and text—pulled from the catalogue of visual graphics in her 2015 monograph titled SET published by Roma Publications.

SET v.19: graphic is 19 in Kim’s ongoing series that draws from the monograph like a kind of graphic manual, a collection of signifiers each pointing to past visual elements in her professional archive. This wall drawing has ten graphic elements. Each refers past issues of GRAPHIC magazine, all published while Kim served as chief editor and art director from 2009 to 2011. Visitors see the aesthetic correlation among the bold graphics, each accompanied by a number. The numbers (like pages of a book) suggest that the elements are part of a larger collection—a set, while serving as practical guides to the index in the monograph-manual-archive SET.
