hey tumblr this is a fairly niche topic but its been pressing on my mind recently so:

back in late march i went to the sackler gallery in DC and they had an exhibit for korean artist Park Chan-Kyong, centered on his film Gathering. My friend and I found the darkness and relatively empty area of the film Fukushima: Autoradiography and Child Soldier to be really nice so we ended up there for around 2 hours, during which the film(s) looped at least three times. At some point in the runtime of Child Soldier a song came on, which I found to be good and wanted to know what it's called. Unfortunately I did not get a recording of the song nor am I able to find ANY information about this one specific film outside of the website for the sackler gallery, which only lists it alongside the others and does no more. There are no online recordings of it, no audio clips, no wikipedia page, NOTHING. If any of you by chance are familiar with Park Chan-Kyong's work, please help me find the song. please. it was so good

#since the film is about a north korean child soldier i started by looking for north korean folk songs and there is. nothing that I can find #park chan kyong #park chankyong #sackler gallery #smithsonian institution #park chan-kyong #park chan-wook #park chan wook #park chanwoom #PARKing CHANce films #filmography #korean art #istg im going insane because this film does not seem to exist outside of the sackler gallery i literally cant find anything mentioning it #at least under the name “child soldier”#entirely possible they just. misnamed it but the smithsonian is such a reputable institution it seems unlikely

A substantial number of major art collections in the United States came to be because of petroleum, or at least, have something of a whiff of the stuff about them, including the Met, MoMA, and practically every art museum in Ohio or Texas. Big Oil, both foreign and domestic, continues to provide corporate sponsorship for art institutions large and small across the country.
