SAT APR 25, 5.30PM / LIBRARY OPENING @ PLATOON KUNSTHALLE

watch out!

library opening
with trolley books / london
saturday 25th april 2009, 5.30 pm
on upcoming saturday PLATOON KUNSTHALLE presents the opening of a new area, the library.

from international awarded design books to rare publications by independent publishers: the library will present a range of books that are not easily available in seoul. 
while the bar area will be the place to meet people and socialize, the library in the second floor will be more quiet: the perfect environment to flip through pages and get an overview about what is published in the contemporary creative world. 

to celebrate our library opening we invited gigi gianuzzi, founder of trolley books from london. trolley has made a reputation for their often daring and exceptional photography books and won several awards from such institutions as the icp in new york, rencontres d’arles, pictures of the year international, the american photography awards, pdn and photo eye. 

on saturday, gigi gianuzzi will present trolley book's new publication "the north koreans" by irina kalashnikova and glyn ford. 
after gigi gianuzzi's presentation dj noah will introduce his nicest blend of disco and house music!
we would be happy to see you and celebrate our new library together.
your PLATOON KUNSTHALLE team~!

MOVE YOUR HOME

nils clauss is a photographer from berlin, living in seoul for a couple of years now. coming from architecture photography he moved the field of photography to different areas. his new series about declining neighbourhoods waiting to be torn down and being replaced by apartment complexes looks very promising. echoes of people's former lives create a spooky atmosphere and paradoxically make the everchanging character of the city highly accessible. check it out~
