Evaluation

Look in my artworks in the second semester have involved another unconventional artistic materials, which are immaterialis; the sounds, smell, filming, and space. By these art materials, the concept of my project could stretch broaden areas. I tried to contain my intention of symbol to a boat made by life trashes. Hence, for creating my installation, I collected trashes which I used for a couple of weeks, it was one of my self-examination and reflection experiences at this time. This semester I tried two types of examinations. I floated the same boat in different places, and I observed people’s actions or reactions for a few hours. One was called recovered river in Bucheon(부천복개천) small stream where people could walk along with the river. Another was called Eurwangni Beach(을왕리해수욕장) located in Incheon.

What I found the result was distinguishing different attention and reaction from the viewer between smaller and bigger space. the boat could attract people’s interest and curiosity in a smaller space. They tended to come to close easily and took a picture and then share it. On the other hand, it could not approach people’s attraction in a larger place compared to a smaller space.

Overall, I realized that the concentration and attention of viewers to artwork are highly affected by the size of the place. People are strong bonds with a specific place. Furthermore, it could drive the theme to make a new gallery in public. I believe that I promote my ability not only in how to contact the viewer in public and but also, I could connect dealing with other materials to show my artwork.

2.Mind extension

According to my second-semester artwork, I realized that there are many connections between public art, place, social media, social power. I would like to continue studying this area deeper and I will experiment with my project in different cities such as rural places, and city places, and then I plan about comparing each country. While preparing a future project, I will compare about audience’s behavior in the online art gallery and offline gallery. And I consider using other sources like tactile and smell to reach human sense to next semester.

3. Theme & Reference Artist

The main theme through my whole project is simply the relationship between Trash and Society construction. Since MFA, I have been obsessed with trashes which is untraditional art materials. Why I use this, trashes were from humankind, people innovated amazing inventions for people’s convenience and life hood except nature. So, plastics are found everywhere and people are addicted to these materials. Human and society and nature are connected in modern society, and I want to focus on the trash trade market.

I researched some of the artists who are people mentioned, or I found online while this semester. Most of them were posted installation art and public art. The artworks made me confirm my artwork, purpose, and plan at this duration.

The first Artist is Marina Abramovi, she is performance and uses her body to depict her art project. The most interesting part is she invites people into her project. I guess that tone of people meets her and sees her project. Through interaction with each other, they can feel something they had not expected before and it has a chance to aware of human’s inherent soul. This semester, I was going to touch people’s emotions with my project, however, the COVID-19 was not allowed people to join my project. However, I am still interested in this way how can I approach the viewer with human body and sense.

Next, Ai WeiWei is a well known political artist. His major theme is human freedom and, I am also a grown-up conventional family in Korea so, I can understand some of the situations that he is talking about. I was struggling with my self-freedom until 27, South Korea is one of the examples of democratic countries, but they have still contained traditional thinking and spirituality in people’s mind. This contributes most students to learn traditional education and follow the strict moral rule. There will be no creative thinking unless there is a proper education system.

Thirdly, Olafur Eliasson is my favorite artist in this semester. I hugely impacted how he shows his work in public or space with environmental topics. The way connects between participants and an irrelevant space. For my project, an environmental problem is also the main issue. People can naturally ask or intervene in my project because my artwork is also an irrelevant thing in public space, or they might do not think about the artwork in the place. When I see his work, I feel like I want to stimulate people to think and sense what they have become accustomed to surrounding us. Also, Yasuaki Onishi is a Japanese artist working in the medium of installation, sculpture, and painting. Looking at his art materials, he accepts unconventional art materials like tree branches, wire, hot glue, and urea. one of his foremost projects is Reverse Volume and he used the glue and drop it into the plastic sheet from ceiling to down. and after all the process, people can notice the space inside is empty, but the opposite side was full of ambiguous black strings. His interest is adding volume into space. there is no special meaning on them. From his artwork, I can figure out the common area is using lightless, unconventional art materials, using disposable things, using the space where the viewer can feel the atmosphere. And Wang Teyu is a Taiwanese contemporary artist. she works on air installation or sculpture and the scale of these are remarkably huge. what she intents in the project is the spatial presence with simple media and see the situation of people in this space. Those relationships between space and people elicit the body’s sensory experience replace visual experience. In this process, people and artwork can interact and communicate with each other. According to her project, I can consider of simplifying of my art project, because when I initiate my project, the more I think, the more I feel confused to work it out the object which shape I have to create. And I can sympathize with the concept of using space, I started to think about a place to evoke people’s emotion and their experience since the last project, so her projects lead my new idea to concrete more for my new project. Lastly, I tried to shoot video art in this semester, while I was working on my project, I did not notice that the artist Namjun Paik and I realized that it is one of the ways to prove how people connect without reality in this pandemic situation, all people connect with media without any touching. For creating my installation, there is no way to show in real in Australia, so I decided to film in a public area after setting up my installation in Korea. I could achieve an online exhibition for public art. I did not intend to make like video art, but some of the students assumed that video was also included in my art project. So, the point of view leads me to begin shooting some video for the public and share them.

4. Theatrical approach

Through the final project in my second semester, I got to know the way where I am going for my artwork better. While researching some theories, I found some of the art theories below the title. Firstly, my object is accepted as an unnormal material and it has manifested in one part of capitalism and materialism in our society. It is related to social and political art. Next, one of my purpose in my project is that the viewer should belong to my artwork. Because, my artwork topic is related to society problem l and environmental problems, so I want to invite people and discuss together what they think with my topic. Besides, I prefer to perform and communicate my work with people. it can be a deeper and valuable meaning as my intention. So, I want to do interactive art via my installation art.

Also, the public project is a new way to invite viewers who are not limit their age or jobs and time. And each space people react differently, it was also an interesting point in this experiment public art.

Overall, I say and evaluate myself, I am getting to grow up as much as I expected in many ways. Studying this course impacted greatly on embodying my art theory and studying research by myself. For preparing next semester, I am thinking of studying more when it comes to “the effect of public space and virtual space toward artwork”, ”new experiment with trashes” in my break time for example, from children to adults, they give interviews on a social issue. I believe that the more information I have, the more I can show a strong message with my artwork in the furthermore.

Urs Fischer – You, 2007, excavation, gallery space, 1:3 scale replica of main gallery space, dimensions variable, Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, New York

Urs Fischer is a Swiss-Born visual artst that now lives in New York City. His artwork incloudes installation, sculpture, and photography.

‘You’ was an sight-foot deep crater that measured approximately 11,6*9,1m, extending almost to the walls of the gallery. it was dug within the pristine white walls of the gallery. It was dug within the pristine white walls of the New York-based gallery. The pit took ten days to build and cost an approximate $250,000 according to New York Magazine. the space filled with a vast open soil.

compareing to my project, I am really interested in my project in space. “ space“ is not just space, but it is able to awake of people’s thinking and sensory.

in gallery space, people expect that they have art scupture or painting or something but, in this space had nothing, it had only soil, dust.

It evokes me afrer nature disaster . unexpectable situation always makes people shoocking and more interesting.

This is another chance that artist can approach their artwork can be something from only in space.

NamJun Paik

in 1974, Paik proposed building a network of “electronic super highways”, using satellites, cables and fiber optics to connect fareway cirties.”We could hold conferences between peopl in different location via colour video, it will become our springboard for new and surprising human endeavours.”

while others before him had suggeted a digital network, Paik was the first to predict an internet that would be used for commnication.

Video as art

For his first art exhubition in 1963, Paik showcased a dozen manipulated TV sets. it was the start of his fascination with electronics. Paik started to play with the lastest gadgets. and was one of the first artist to use TV and Video. He built TV-robots, TV-walls, made his own synthesiser and broadcasted live events.

His gorund-breaking work showed the possibilities of videos in art and paved the way for future artists.

Paik believed that technology needed to be in harmony with nature. In his artwork TV Garden, he placed dozens of TV sets among a jungle of tropical plants. Viewers immersed themselves in this natural world while they watched the screens.

Paik noted that people would see plants and TVs together as a ‘paradox’. But, for him, this was all the more important to show that the two are connected.

Many people had thought that television is against ecology. But in this case, television is part of ecology.

James Turrell

James Turrell is from an American artist. His significant projects consist of light and space. People see the light’s installation and they might think something from their memory.

When I saw his projects, It was emotionally strong impressive to me. I expected that it was linked with my artwork theories or something. However, as research, his notion is different from my thinking. but, the idea of using light in a specific space is quite similar to my idea. Space can bring people’s multi-sensory. I am interested in light and the way how I set up my installation in space. Add, I am trying my project to be simplified rather than be in detail.

Untitled by Tara Donovan 2014

Tara Donovan is an American artist and most of her artwork have consist of a tones of mandane materials. I think that some part is ignored to environmnet aspect, due to the fact that weather she care of waste or not.

On the other hand, ability of reinterpreation on the materials and transforme are unrealistic and surreal.

Massive thing and Mono color give me more concentrate on the project and they have existence of the shadow from the part which the boundary betwwen objects.

Also I gain some power from the simple figure and then I think about how should I work my project out like this way.

Public Art

11 May 2020

My project was held in public space. I was thinking about my project plan it was going to beach or stream where it had flow of water. if my project was installed in outdoor spaces, my purpose of this semester is going to well finish as my thinking.

Since MFA in 2019, I began to explore unartistic materials and then I tried to install in space where on the ceiling or on the floor. After approaching unartistic materials, my projects and notion was totally changed in different direction. however, I think that it was going to do in the first place, I wasted of my time pointless tasks instead of it. I did create installations on specific spaces in my first and second semester but, during this suffering virus time leaded me to come back Korea and I tried my project in public space. As my project, it normally finishes when the show closes. Everyproject is temporary and everytime is shown in different ways.

Through this public project, I could interact and communicate with people who did not expect my project in the place. I become know more about the place history and people’s culture with short time conversation. according to this insteraction, it can be one of the expression of artwork and proven of human society value. I (me and people with artwork) shared my point with people by artwork and we were more awareness envionment and our livehood.

They wonder more than I thought, and they were happy and participated in there. I felt like that people had attention to my project not me, the artwork was main in the space suddenly. This experiment can reflect on our society what is life in community add meaning to our cities. They creat public experience together.

WANG TEYU

Wang Te-Yu is a Taiwanese contemporary artist. she works on air installation or sculpture and the scale of these are remarkably huge. what she intents in the project is the spatial presence with simple media, and see the situation of people in this space. those object’s relationships between space and people, and elicit the body’s sensory experience replace visual experience. in this process, people and artwork can interact and communicate with each other.

from her project, I can consider of simplifying of my art project, because when I initiate my project, the more I think, the more I feel confused to work out the object which I have to creat. and I can sympathize with the concept of using space, I started to think about a spatial place to feel people’s emotion and their experience since the last project, so her projects lead my new idea to concrete more for my new project.

Influence of the projects

- materiality, interactive art, atmosphere.

Exploration area

- Space, Body, Material

"Garbage is produced every day and disposable things are produced every day."

My artwork is influenced by society construction through wastes problem since last semester. And my previous project was about Korean society's problem concerning education and hierarchy. And My preoccupation is wider in this area intensely. Besides, I am interested in interactive art for communication with art and participant, so I try to make my artwork inviting people and also people are belonging in my artwork.

In the research, materiality can make atmospheres, and this can draw your attention and amplify your sensitivity to a particular atmosphere by Olafur Eliasson. I can sympathize with this idea, for example, people might think differently when they see the same thing or scenery. Because they have different experiences or cultures. That is why the thing surrounding us is very important for my sense that is from my experience or atmosphere. Another interesting research is waste can be money in developing countries. People use plastic waste every day, plastic is used and thrown away all the time with a human. But most richer countries produce a ton of trashes and then poor countries exchange garbage for money. So, I have to think about the usage expectancy also. Generally, it takes for 35 years over when it disappears naturally itself. However, people use plastic just in 2 sec, how it sounds poor. The more I study the more I find information about the hidden meaning in the trash trade market.

For the first project this semester, initially, I intended to invite people to my artwork. However, due to the COVID-19 happened, I could not set up installation and give my intention to people. for my notion and for finding the solution in this situation, some artists help my notion to concrete. The idea of Olafur Eliasson is affecting my thinking. His projects always give some questions to people who participate in his projects. The questions are about people's responsibility and humanitarian future toward environment maintenance. using untraditional material for his project is impacting my thinking when it comes to how I look at the art itself.

Next, Au Weiwei is a Chinese contemporary artist and also an activist. His motivation is from freedom out of society. I am highly interested in his art materials. When it comes to the art materials in his projects, they have their history. He allows a lot of materials for creating a project not only using the same material. Looking at the perspective on materiality or the way how he shows the projects give me how I can practice more my materiality. And I will try connecting with materiality and history.

Lastly, Marina Abramovi_the artist is performance. The body is one of the expressions and subject substitutes for an existing art piece. She tries to invite people and also her body. Looking at her projects, she uses her body as a tool, and she experiments her body. This section is newly my interest. In the process of my project, I had to rethink about not only using my body and but also feeling my emotion about the mood and material.

Francis Alÿs is Mexican artist and since the mid 1990s, the notion of his projects are mainly silmilar to political and social issues in people’s life. he created his own exceptional project such as ‘Green Line’, ‘block Ice’ with ordinary. and also with the performing gives the message when it coems to humanitarian to help reconstruction following the 1985 earthquake. According to the project, it approached poetical pracitce and personal investigations of city milieu rather than physical environments.

I was impressived with his activities such as pushing a block of ice by streets until it melted and the project which he walked the boundary of two contries.

the way he acts leads my project to be built more conceptually, and simplified.

The meaning of the project

Olafur Eliasson – Green river, 1998, uranine, water, The Northern Fjallabak Route, Iceland, 1998

For this project his team used Uranine, a non-toxic, water-soluble dye to test ocean currents. it initiated since 1996 when he lived near to river.

this project showed six different rivers green; in Tokyo, Los Angeles, Bremen, and Stockholm.

visually, the effection of dying is rare to noticing from people. Elisson notes that most people are mainly disconnected from their envionments, especially those in the urban space.

The role of the audience is the important part. with each installaion, public involvement is a central piece that unfolded differently. according to Paul,

observing changed environment is distict difference to seeing the artwork in museum or gallery.

it is also bringing the unique new viewer unfamilir with art specific meaning and hidden meaning.

when this projecr begain, the intensive changing the rivrer color was stressed by many newpapers.

jurnalist wrote the criticque news to government heating system which is leaking fluid to river.

many people who live this area was panic and realised that city’ s water rotten.

Eliasson sought to inspire the connection and the relationship between participants and an irrelevant space. The green river sought to bring back the lost growly of rivers and at the same time, bring back the connection with the city residents.

It is very unusual to see how the residents reacted to the green river and the way they talked about it. It is also an excellent observance to see how they feel about the connection with the river and their natural surroundings.

Jake and Dinos Chapman are a duo of British artists whose shocking, collaborative pojects incoporate plastic or fiberglass models to depict horrific scenes of Nazi soldier, McDonald’s characters, skeletons, dinosaurs, and other oddities. they show their artwork with popular medium so that’ s mean people can understand easily. Their works are reminiscent of both Hieronymus Bosch’s ghoulish scenes of hell and Francisco Goya’s dark parodies of the Spanish government.

the monumentality of the work emphasizes the shocking effect caused by the brutality represented and the incredible meticulousness of the details. the scenes teem with plastic toy figures of miniature nazi soldiers performing acts of grotesque and surreal violence, suggesting genocide. in this terrible setting, every figure is decapitating or cannibalizing another, without there being any identifiable victors, victims or other moral categories. it’s not called ‘holocaust’, it’s called ‘fucking hell‘. putting something behind glass escalates the level of voyeurism: you become implicated, just by the act of looking’, state jake & dinos chapman.

the artists produced ‘fucking hell’ following the destruction in a fire of their gory installation ‘hell’ (2000). this second version is larger and more spectacular than the first. emphasizing the apocalyptic and psychological root of the work in nine vitrines, arranged to form a swastika, is even more baroque. existing within the realm of play, the artists bought 60,000 toy soldiers, and in two years of work chopped them up, remodeled and recast them.
