Catalogue published in conjunction with 'Eating Tools' exhibition at SeMA Nam-Seoul Living Arts Museum from 15 March to 15 May 2016.

Includes a curatorial essay by invited curator Park Nam Hee, colour plates of works by 35 participating artists (such as crafts, designs, videos, installations, sculptures and paintings), artist statements and brief artists' biographies.

'Eating Tools are divided into five sections: Human, Making, Style, Usage, and Life. Each section represents the contemplation of flatware in a circular structure. The "Human" section shows stories of being and self-contemplation that flatware reveals. The "Making" section displays the story of obsessiveness in creation to achieve the flatware's function, while the "Style" section presents the story of aesthetics that exceeds material and technique. Stories that surpass our expectations for flatware and their usage are revealed in the "Usage" section, and the value of socialization and tools for living are exposed in the "Life" section.'-excerpt from museum website.
