로드쇼 대한민국 Eyebeam Roadshow South Korea

로드쇼:대한민국. 8.2011 1) 사업 목적: 동시대 미술은 갤러리나 미술관이라는 제도적인 전시공간의 제한에서 벗어난지 이미 오래이다. 많은 작가와 프로젝트성 공동 작업은 좀 더 다양한 공간에서 관객과 직접적인 소통을 갈망하고 작업의 과정이 중심되어 사회적인 역할을 확장한다. 지난 10년간 활발히 시도되어온 참여적인 공동체 예술, 관계적인 미학 그리고 리서치 중심의 미디어 작업의 맥락에서 은 기존에 한국에서 많이 시도된 ‘도시’,… Continue reading 로드쇼 대한민국 Eyebeam Roadshow South Korea

Something about Wall St

A group of joyous, angry, depressed and indifferent wannabe rioters is converging on Wall Street on Sunday for a party in the street. Come, bring whatever and have a rowdy time!

invisible 보이지 않는

(수정 중) 저는 11년 전인 2000년에 대학에 진학했습니다. 주변 환경에 적응하지 못하고 사회에 불만이 많던 고등학교 시절과 비교하면 미술 대학이라는 곳은 완벽한 도피처이자 제가 선택한 현실이었습니다. 시카고 예술 대학은 학부에는 전공이 정해지지 않고 학점제도 또한 없어서 이것저것 탐구할 시간이 있었습니다. 저는 퍼포먼스와 영상 수업을 들었고 시각 문화 이론에 관심이 있었습니다. 4년 동안 우여곡절이 있었지만, 좋은… Continue reading invisible 보이지 않는
