Beyond thinking

This exhibition’s owner is artist who belongs to residency in Go-yang(My hometown). I didn't even know if there was an art museum near my house, but I accidently saw it on the street. It is difficult to define the theme of exhibition because it is an exhibition that releases each new work. So I focused each artist’s works and two of them remained impressive.     First, this work’s name is [Firework festival] of Moon sohyun. The artist focused on the festival. The festivals of the past were an important element of civilization that deviated from everyday suffering. During the festival, people were able to boil out their desire and stress and come back to their daily lives to do their part. In modern times, however, festivals are simply meant for idle, eating and eating. To criticize this point, the artist used stimulating video art and installation work. The video which shows flies are jumping into electronic insecticide and shows empty silicone mannequin...

Ung-Mang Now In Il-min museum where place in Gwang-Hwa station, the exhibition named Ung-Mang by Sasa [44] held since September. Before entrance, all audiences were given bracelet for ticket. It gave an impression like we’re in festival. Basically exhibition composed of data and objects which based on artist’s life and collection. Sasa [44] build his own vast data about his consume since 2003. The main attraction of this exhibition is archive which artist piled for 15 years.   Audiences provide less information about works. Only name and place where they are. A three story spaces are summarized by only one paper. I think the artist wants to give nothing but work itself. It belongs to audiences how to use given information. At first, I thought weird. I saw this kind of passive exhibition first time. It makes me lots and lots of think.   On first floor, there are book of graphs and text about how many times he ate beef stew, how many books he purchas...

Korean artist prize 2018 This exhibition has process of audition that annually chooses four artist and pick one final artist by discussion of judge. But regardless of result, four parts of works are all said variety subject and opinion. The most interesting point of this exhibition was there was no specific type of expression. They used painting, photography, video, performance and etc. And the end of exhibition, there was a place where can see each artist’s former works and interviews so audience can see development process of now-days works and how it birth. For audience, this exhibition is really kind one.   Above all, two of them caught my eyes.   First one is Jung eun young’s work. She told us female national musical.(I’m not sure it is a right translation) Actually I don’t even know about this genre existed. It was a musical which had popularity in 1950s but was forgotten and did not run on to present. But artist Jung raised up this tradi...
