Total Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul, Korea.
As part of the Nordic Design exhibition at Total Museum Of Contemporary Art we showed 3 sculptures and 3 photographies in the
basement of the museum. The exhibition was opened by Mr. Didrik Tønseth, the Norwegian Ambassador.

From the press release March 2009:
As part of the Nordic design exhibition artists Anna Daniell & Sverre Strandberg are invited to make a contribution of contemporary
art. Anna Daniell & Sverre Strandberg are both active artists from Norway working mainly with sculpture and photography.
Thematically their works often revolves around the economic value of things contra artistic value, or the copy and the original.
Anna Daniell & Sverre Strandberg are artists in residency at the Changdong National Art Studio.

For this exhibition Anna Daniell & Sverre Strandberg are using products / commodity as building blocks in their new works.
For instance in The Scream we se a collection of Scream souvenirs (bought on Ebay) mediated as a still life photo. The Scream souvenirs transforms into a valuable original yet again. The question posted may be, what would the original The Scream be without its
reproductions and copies?

The photography Yin Yang Cheeseburger plays on the Korean flag showing a partitioned Mc Donalds Cheeseburger as Yin and Yang.
In the work National Treasure a sculpture is created of souvenir towels bought on the National Museum of Korea.

Design Soup: In the 1990s Rirkrit Tiravanija became famous for making noodle soup in the gallery and serving it for free to everyone.
After cocking noodles into the new millennium Rirkrits "social soup" is a common notion in the field of art (coined as Relational aestetics).
The work reflects upon the status change when an original work of art becomes so famous it becomes of just another brand name.
The Noodle Man is off course not a big fan of the idea of soup.
