내 인생에 다시 오지 않을 것 같은 순간처럼 내 인생에 다가 오지 않을 것 같은 시간이 있었다.

‘깍’은 제주 말로 ‘끝’을 가리키는 접미사이다. 어느 날 문득 찾아온 죽음과 절망의 목소리들로부터 도망치기 위해 땅과 섬으로 여행을 떠났다. 길 위에서 만난 살아있는 존재들이 죽은척 사는 나를 다시 일으켜세워 땅의 끝, 바다의 시작, 어쩌면 제자리 하지만 다시 여기로 옮겨다 주었다.

[깍, WRITING ON THE EDGE]는 그간 비디오 작업을 주로 했던 안유리의 첫 번째 출판작업이다. 이번 작업은 2010년 두 차례 걸친 제주여행과 교토-방콕-씨엠림-깐짜나부리를 넘나들며 기록한 이야기 묶음인 [Is+Land], 다시 땅으로 돌아와서 쓴 엄마와 할머니와의 대화를 픽션으로 엮은 [Mother+Land]로 구성되어 있다.

SHIFTING INK by November Paynter

Mon, 08 Nov 2010 15:13:10 +0900

Artsonje Lounge Project 2010: Video Screening Program

“Shifting Ink”

2010.04 “By other means”

올해 4월, 아트선재센터 지하 상영관을 위해 기획한 비디오 스크리닝 프로그램 “By other means”에 이어서, 노벰버 페인터(November Paynter)는 아트선재센터 라운지에서 상영될 두 가지 작업을 선택했다. 아트선재 라운지 프로젝트 2010의 비디오 스크리닝 프로그램으로 기획된 이 섹션은 “Shifting Ink”이다.

2010.09 “Shifting Ink”

첫 번째 작업은 알렉산더 우가이(Alexander Ugay)의 <Waltz>(2009)이다. 이 작업은 호신술에 대한 책의 일러스트들을 조합하여 마치 잔잔한 왈츠와 같은 격투 시퀀스를 차례로 보여주는 애니메이션이다. 원래는 잉크로 그려진 인물들의 자세 를 뒤바꿈으로써, 이 작업은 관람객이 짧은 시간 동안 힘세고 용감한 남성이 될 수 있는 가능성을 과장한다. 우가이는 그 에게 있어 ‘그 드로잉들은 위대한 행위에 대해 이야기하는 고대 신화의 프레스코처럼 보이며 드로잉 속 동작들은 투지를 북돋는 마법의 춤을 떠오르게 한다’고 말한다. 그러한 책자들은 90년대 초반, 범죄와 무법이 일상적이었던 소비에트 연방 붕괴 이후의 국가들에서 매우 인기를 끌었다. 우가이는 당시 ‘사람들은 자신들을 위한 희망을 가질 수 있었고 기적을 상상 할 수 있었음’을 시사한다. 그는 ‘나는 이 현상을 모럴 가라데(moral karate)라고 부를 수 있다’고 말한다. 우가이의 작업은 도서관이자 서점인 더 북스(The Books)에 설치되며, 동요의 순간과 함께 고정된 잉크 드로잉과 텍스트를 병치하여 더 적 극적인 형태로 다시 상상되도록 한다.

두 번째 작업은 스테판 니콜라에브(Stefan Nikolaev)의 <Minouk le Poisson Peintre (The Painting Fish)>(1994-2004) 이다. 이 비디오 작업은 애니메이션은 아니지만 그와 유사한 유머러스하고 기괴한 측면을 가지고 있다. 금붕어 한 마리가 프레임 안에서 수영을 하고 물에는 붉은 잉크가 더해지는데, 이것은 불쌍한 금붕어가 붉은 물에 완전히 잠길 때 까지 계속 된다. 도서관과 그 안에 있는 잉크로 채워진 출판물들에 대해 언급함으로써, 또한 이 작업은 한국에서 볼 수 있는 전통적 인 수묵화 형식에 대해서도 대응한다. 이 두 작업들은 모두 명상적인 성격을 가지고 있으며 단순하지만 동시에 축적되어 나가는 그림책과 상당히 비슷하게 진행되는 듯 보인다.

Following the art video screening program ‘By other means’ curated by November Paynter for the auditorium at Artsonje, she has now selected two works to be presented in the lounge area.

The first video work is by Alexander Ugay. Titled Waltz (2009), the piece is an animation composed from the illustrations taken out of a book on self defence that seen chronologically form a gentle, waltz-like, fight sequence. By agitating the original ink-drawn character positions the work exaggerates the potential for the viewer to become a strong and courageous man during a short period of time. Ugay says that for him ‘the drawings look like a fresco of ancient myth that tell a tale of a great exploit and that the movements remind him of a magic dance, which strengthens the fighting spirit.’ Such brochures were fairly popular in the beginning of the 90s in post-soviet countries when crime and lawlessness were common. Ugay suggests that at that time ‘people could hope to themselves and imagine a miracle.’ He says ‘I could call this phenomenon - moral karate.’ Ugay’s work is installed in the library/bookshop area, juxtaposing a moment of agitation alongside the static ink drawings and text to allow them to also be re-imagined in a more active form.

The second work is Minouk le poisson peintre(The Painting Fish) (1994-2004) by Stefan Nikolaev. This video is not an animation, but has a similar humorous and bizarre quality. A gold fish swims within the picture frame and ink is added to the water until the poor fish is completely submerged in a sea of red. Again referring back to the library and its ink filled publications the work also responds to the traditional ink and brush art forms found in Korea. Both works have a meditative quality and seem to develop much like a flip book of simple, yet accumulative frames.

[Monograph] Tetsumi Kudo: Garden of Metamorphosis

Tue, 06 Jul 2010 16:04:10 +0900

Tetsumi Kudo: Garden of Metamorphosis is the first solo museum exhibition of the late artist’s work in the United States, which introduces Kudo to American audiences while expanding our understanding of many possible alternative narratives of 20th-century art. Kudo bridged many disparate artistic tendencies in the latter half of the 20th century- French Nouveau Réalisme, Fluxus, Pop Art - without specifically belonging to or identifying with any of them. While his art and vision were consistently and uniquely transcultural, international, and cosmopolitan, he remained, in his private thinking and public persona, an eternal outsider. Ultimately, what Kudo hoped to discover and develop was a universal humanist language of creativity and regeneration in a post-nuclear world. And that hope still resonates, perhaps even more critically in this new century, almost 20 years after his death. The 304-page catalogue features an overview essay by Doryun Chong, a richly illustrated chronology by the artist’s widow, Hiroko Kudo, and a reflection by artist Mike Kelley. The book, with, 100 color plates and 105 black-and-white illustrations, also includes several of Tetsumi Kudo’s statements, manifestos, and interviews, many of them translated into English for the first time. - Walker Art Center
