This is ths story why I want to make Gallery in chelsea.
Last month, One artist came from Korea with Dream. This is the most well known city for artist, so he expected lots audiances and convieniences. He planed performance in his openning day. He wanted to show what is defferences his artwork with others. But his hotel was so far from the gallery, it was not easy to carry all stuff for the performance.
The gallery was not big enough to hang his huge artworks. Audiances were just few because of no advertisement and their location. The gallery is located in midtown. He went back to his country with big disappoitment. Maybe this is the reality. Sometimes to artist, emotion is verey important even anger. they could buster his work. But not disappointment. Oh, no!! This is the one of his paintings.

Tufte Books



For more than a decade, Edward Tufte has been championing efficient, coherent and effective ways of presenting information. Through his books and seminars, Tufte has shown that the endless sea of information that we are forced to wade through does not have to be as dense and confusing as it often is.
Envisioning Information focuses on rendering complex and often three-dimensional information in two-dimensional space; on "escaping flatland" as he says. "The world is complex, dynamic, multidimensional; the paper is static, flat." Tufte presents hundreds of examples of effective information presentation, in the form of diagrams, maps, charts, timetables and more.
The Visual Display of Quantitative Information is the classic book on statistical graphics, charts, tables. Theory and practice in the design of data graphics, 250 illustrations of the best (and a few of the worst) statistical graphics, with detailed analysis of how to display data for precise, effective, quick analysis.
