Hangul at the Design Museum

Posted on October 17th, 2009 by steve

Claudia Pungaru, one of my students, turned me on to the work of Dr. Hyunju Lee. Lee’s work is typographic and she uses the Korean script Hangul as a starting point for expressive interpretations – about Korean life and culture.

Ongoing right now is Typographic Exploration in Hangul: An Exhibition of work by Hyunju Lee and Phil Choo (work pictured above) at the UC Davis Design Museum. In the show, letters evoke emotions – all tied to the tradition and sounds of the Hangul writing system.

For more information about the show, go here. The Design Museum’s site is here.

The museum is open limited hours Monday thru Friday, and on Sunday afternoons. Show ends December 6, 2009.

    The above piece was actually designed by Korean designer, Phil Choo, a professor at Oklahoma State University.
