GenMon-Style: A Sensory Revolution in the Mega City of Seoul ― From Skin to Organ,
How Architecture, Direction, and Narrative Form a Singular World
Introducing Gentle Monster merely as an “eyewear brand” fails to capture the full scope of its identity. The brand’s spaces across Seoul and around the world no longer function as retail stores; they operate as massive sensory mechanisms and theatrical stages for urban narratives.

Mark Bradford’s Social Abstraction: Collision of Concepts, Gaps in Form, and the Mechanism of Institutional Consumption ― The Unstable Space Produced by Contradictory Ideas
Bradford’s work is often packaged under the label of “social abstraction.” Yet this term directly contradicts the foundations of abstraction itself and functions more as a sanitized institutional rhetoric that half-erases its ethical and political implications. Abstraction was historically built on removing narrative and context, but Bradford’s surfaces contain direct traces of specific racial, class, and urban structures.

Sign Capitalism and the Crisis
Jay Jongho Kim | Editor in Chief
Today’s contemporary art scene has been rewritten in the language of capital. Artworks have become units of transaction rather than outcomes of thought, and the artist’s creative act is adjusted somewhere between private desire and market demand. The spiritual value of art—the inner form where human perception meets reflection—is gradually losing its ground.
