First presented at the Open M Art Fair in Hangzhou, the installation invited visitors to exchange hand-drawn messages, images, and notes across a shared digital sky; this volume gathers those ephemeral exchanges, allowing readers to encounter them again through an archive and QR-based system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is anchored by a conversation with the team behind abC (art book in China), tracing the development of one of the region’s most influential art book fairs and its transformation into the Open M Art Fair amid shifting cultural conditions. Lee frames this dialogue, and the project as a whole, as a reflection on the importance of cultural fairs and the role of independent publishing in sustaining a warm, cross-border community of makers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRisograph printed on newsprint with an acetate cover, \u003cem\u003eDrops from the Air \u003c\/em\u003eextends the logic of the original installation—circulating messages outward, from one reader to another, as a gesture of exchange, gratitude, and connection across a shared global network.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInterviewed: Yue Zhou, Dan Yang, Yaya Liu\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by Halim Lee, 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoftcover with clear coil binding, 26 pages, multi-color Risograph, 8.75 × 11 inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Curated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48053867348222,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1681\/2497\/files\/DropsfromtheAir.jpg?v=1776453835","url":"https:\/\/draw-down.com\/products\/drops-from-the-air","provider":"Draw Down","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
