We are Sulki Choi and Min Choi, graphic designers in Seoul, Korea. We met in 2001 at Yale University where we both were MFA graphic design students. Since then, we have been working together on various commissioned and self-initiated projects. From 2003 until 2005 we were researchers at the Jan van Eyck Akademie in Maastricht, the Netherlands, where we participated in a research project for the cultural identity of the city of Leuven, Belgium; designed the academy’s various publications and promotional materials; and together with Tamara Maletic and Dan Michaelson (Linked by Air), designed the exhibition ‘Welcome to Fusedspace Database’ at Stroom Den Haag.
We have participated in many group exhibitions in Korea and abroad, including: ‘Parallel Life’, Frankfurter Kunstverein, 2005; ‘Frame Builders’, Insa Art Space, Seoul, 2006; ‘Graphic Design in the White Cube’, Moravian Gallery in Brno, 2006; ‘From Mars’, Moravian Gallery in Brno, 2006; Anyang Public Art Project, 2007; ‘No Paper’, 4th Ningbo International Poster Biennale, 2008; ‘100 Daehangro’, Arko Art Center, Seoul, 2009; ‘Platform in Kimusa’, former Korean Military Security Headquarters, 2009. We had our first exclusive exhibition ‘Sulki & Min: Factory 060421-060513’ at Gallery Factory, Seoul, in 2006, for which we received the Art Award of the Year 2006 from the Arts Council Korea. Our second exhibition, ‘Sulki & Min: Kimjinjye 080402- 080414’, was held at Kimjinhye Gallery, Seoul, in 2008.
Sulki is teaching at Kaywon School of Art & Design, and Min at the University of Seoul.
