But we were not interested in the so-called \u201cpublic design\u201d in the first place. As a socially negotiated activity, designing is rarely private, and there are public dimensions to it even when it\u2019s not explicitly done for the public realm. \u201cPublic design,\u201d therefore, is either a redundant duplication in terms or a covert condemnation of design as it is normally practiced: that it\u2019s not good enough for the public.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t like the insinuation, and we don\u2019t care too much about the public anyway. Then, perhaps, we shouldn\u2019t have accepted the invitation to the show. But then again, we wouldn\u2019t be able to tell the world that we were not interested in \u201cpublic design,\u201d if our voice was simply absent. Instead, we chose to exhibit these posters as a sign of our active disinterest or an active sign of our disinterest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21282\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sulki-min.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Manifesto-for-the-New-Public-Design-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"559\" height=\"773\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[767,3643,4150,4909,1521,745,4452,1094,15,1489],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21284","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-767","category-2017-new-public-design-2017-hello-stranger-culture-station-seoul-284","category-sulki-min-clarifying-obscuring-transtage-hangzhou-2024","category-en-post","category-inkjet-print","category-korea-craft-and-design-foundation","category-neue-haas-grotesk","category-oh-chang-sup","category-poster","category-top-process"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sulki-min.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21284","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sulki-min.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sulki-min.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sulki-min.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sulki-min.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21284"}],"version-history":[{"count":31,"href":"https:\/\/www.sulki-min.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21284\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57147,"href":"https:\/\/www.sulki-min.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21284\/revisions\/57147"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sulki-min.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sulki-min.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21284"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sulki-min.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
