The 019 Gallery usually installs a new form of flag for every new exhibition. Daeki Shim and HyoJun Shim made a design of 019 which is the combination of Zero, One, Nine, using Smile symbol & icon. The number Zero is expressed as the left eye, number one as the Nose and number nine as the right eye. In addition, they represented the facial expressions of a smiling face by adding the symbolized smiling mouth shape. Like this, they expressed the Gallery name 019 in Kinesics-mode graphic.
