V.017 · solo curator · 1–3 pieces a day

I collect what I see.
I show what I collect.

Eight collections: colour, pattern, structure, type, daily, photo, illustration, space.
1–3 pieces added daily. Quoting welcome — just credit the source.

curator note

I walk the alleys every day. When a piece catches in me I photograph it,
and in the evening I sit down and decide which collection it belongs to. Collecting what is good ends up being a way of ordering yourself.

curator note

blue of a discarded wire — I had always passed that alley,
but that day the blue of this coil was the only thing I could see.
Electrical work material, it seemed, gathered by someone and then forgotten.
A piece I kept looking at long after I saved it.

Curator moOO

Art director, 7 years in. 1–3 pieces a day, from a studio in Seongsu, Seoul.

About

Seven years in publishing and branding. Four in book design, three in packaging and identity.
In the winter of 2022, on an early morning when the work would not come together, I looked again at the paper scraps gathered on my desk — that is where Moeum began.

Moeum is neither work nor an artwork. 1–3 pieces a day, just a place to sort what I have seen.

Updated every single day since January 2023. Quoting and resharing welcome — just credit the source.

The process

01SeeFrom everything seen in a day, draw out one candidate piece.
02CollectSort it into one of 8 collections. Attach tag, hex, source metadata.
03WriteA curator note, one to five lines. Why this piece.
04ShowUpdated every midnight KST. Newsletter goes out every Monday.
Studio in Seongsu, Seoul
a word from the curator

Since making Moeum I have woken early every day.
A habit formed of walking the morning alleys looking for the day’s one piece,
and thanks to it I saw maybe a thousand more scenes than I would have last year.
I relearn every day that seeing is collecting and collecting is seeing.
