30 October 2026
On October 30 2026, graphic designer Moonsick Gang based in Seoul will turn 40. In Korea the number four is often associated with death because the Sino-Korean pronunciations of 四 (four) and 死 (death) are identical.
For this occasion Moonsick returns to Amsterdam where he studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie from 2008 until 2012.
One month before, Moonsick gathered around 100 books he had designed over the past decade and decided to burn one copy of each of those books. He documented the process with film and video after which he sifted the remaining ashes to be used as a new material.
While working with those ashes, Moonsick used several kinds of painting mediums ranging from acrylic and watercolor to oil, looking for different characteristics within them such as texture, density, opacity and adhesion. The results produced a spectrum of different grey inks that could be used to make new images with. Giving the burned books a new function.
The new images produced with these inks mostly refer to the time he spent in Amsterdam, he reproduced his old Rietveld ID card, a five gilder telephone card Hans Gremmen gave him back in 2010 and an image of a book he made while studying graphic design. While the images are new, they represent a timeline of materials and ideas that have formed the outcome slowly over the past year.
The images will be shown alongside the film and photo documentation of the burning at ENTER ENTER which will be turned into floor F, where old memories take on new likenesses. And where old and new friends come to celebrate Moonsick’s 40th birthday.
