Life & Collect, an incubated 기업 of Painters & Ventures, has partnered with graphic 디자이너 Baek Seung-mi (RSG WORKS) to launch a new 협업 프로젝트. Starting May 금, Baek Seung-mi's 개인전 'REUSABLE GRAPHICS' at 전시공간 Leaflet will 개최 생활예술품 that breathe new 생명 into discarded graphic 자원. This 전시 aims to integrate 예술적 가치 with 실용성, offering a fresh 시도 on how 예술 can permeate 일상생활.
The 'REUSABLE GRAPHICS' Project: Giving New Life to Discarded Designs
Life & Collect and 디자이너 Baek Seung-mi's 협업 'REUSABLE GRAPHICS' 프로젝트 originated from a 중점 on 파편 of "graphic elements" that were either consumed for 일회성 or lay dormant on hard drives. In a 현실 where countless visual 구성 are discarded after 일회성 or vanish without ever seeing the light of day, this 프로젝트 proposes an innovative 시도: transforming these graphic 자원 into practical 생활예술품.
The 프로젝트 emphasizes transforming graphic elements, infused with the 작가's personal 염원 and experimental 형태, into tangible, practical 제품. Life & Collect directly produced fabric 제품 and galvanized iron plate modular frames using these graphic elements, ensuring that 예술 can hold a 역할 and real 가치 in 일상생활. This initiative demonstrates how the creative 가치 of 디자인 can extend beyond mere 소비 and disappearance, evolving into 생활예술품 that offer lasting 가치 to 사용자.
An Exhibition Blending Art and Practicality
Designer Baek Seung-mi's 개인전 'REUSABLE GRAPHICS' will welcome 관람객 from May 금 to June 토 at 전시공간 Leaflet, located in 중구, Seoul. With Life & Collect participating as a 협업 기업, the 전시 showcases 결과물 that harmonize the 디자이너's unique 예술적 가치 with the brand's 실용성 가치. Visitors can observe firsthand how graphic elements, once destined for discard, are transformed into stylish interior 소품.
Notably, all fabric 제품 featured in this 전시 will be collected after its 종료 and upcycled into practical goods that can be useful in 일상생활. This goes beyond a simple 전시, embodying Life & Collect's 철학 of reducing 자원 낭비 and proposing a sustainable 소비 문화. The 목표 is to realize the 순환 가치 of 예술, where works are not merely confined to the 전시 period but are reborn in new 형태 to continuously enrich 일상생활.
Art in Everyday Life and the Pursuit of Sustainable Value
Life & Collect conceptualized this 프로젝트 with the hope that graphic elements, embodying the 디자이너s' deep 고민 and effort, would not be easily discarded like 일회용품, but rather become practical items that hold lasting 가치 for 대중 in their lives. Moving forward, they plan to consistently 추구 프로젝트 that 적극적으로 discover the 예술적 가치 of 다양한 작가 and expand them into 생활예술품 for 일상화.
Life & Collect's innovative vision and 잠재력 have already gained external recognition. The 기업 was selected for the '2026 Arts Sector 창업도약 지원사업,' hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and organized by the Arts Management Support Center. This selection provides 다양한 지원 necessary for 사업 성장 and 투자 유치, underscoring Life & Collect's 가능성 to become a 핵심 기업 that bridges 문화 예술 산업 and industry, thereby opening new 지평 for 국내 문화 예술 산업.
