The Antimonumental Impulse in Korean Contemporary Art
This study examines the genealogy of the antimonument in South Korean contemporary art as it manifests in the works of three artists: Bahc Mo, Suh Do Ho, and Oh Inhwan. Born in the period around 1960, the three grew to maturity during South Korea’s rapid economic development in the 1970s and witnessed the violent struggle for democratization in the 1980s. Public monuments were grandiose structures deployed in the nation’s period of military dicta…
Who’s Afraid of Postmodernism? Postmodern Polemics in Contemporary Korean Art
This is a collection of essays that discussed the nature of postmodernism and its plausibility in South Korea in the early 1990s. In the mid-1980s, the Korean art community was split between two op
Interpreting Modernism in Korean Art
Plastic tradition
This study is an attempt to analyse the work of Jeong-hwa Choi (b. 1961), one of the most prominent Korean contemporary artists, in relation to Korean tradition. The ‘work’ here refers not only to the artwork as an artistic object, however, but also to the physical work as manual labour. Accordingly, ‘tradition’ also has a double meaning, designating not only material heritage and inherited styles, but also the strong commitment to labour embodie…
Terror of the Bathroom
On Kawara (b. 1933), a Japanese-born artist based in New York, began his best-known work, the Today Series, or Date Paintings, on 4 January 1966. Each Date Painting bears the date of its creation, with the year and day set with Arabic numerals, and the month written as a textual abbreviation, rendered in white oil paint on a monochromatic canvas. The artist has now been continuously creating these simple canvases for over four decades.2 These hig…
On Kawara's Date Paintings
In New York, in 1965, On Kawara created Title, a tripartite painting that employed his signature style of white letters on a monochrome canvas. On deep pink canvases, the artist meticulously painted three phrases: ONE THING—1965—VIET-NAM.1 Anne Rorimer argues that the work is essentially self-referential: “ONE THING” designates the painting's own reality as an object, while “1965” and “VIET-NAM” provide minimal political-historical context.2 Howe…
