| Description | City (2009). The catalogue section includes artist biographies. 'Continuity and Intensity contains opinions and ideas of 58 key art practitioners of the local contemporary art scene of Korea during the past two years. The timeframe of 2008 and 2009 lying behind this book is the point of transition from progressive to conservative national politics, which brought along drastic reconfiguration of cultural order in the region. Witnessing a sharp reduction and perishment of qualified discourses in the field in 2010, this book intentionally retrieves two meaningful projects in 2008 and 2009 that were close to vanish by the scandalous policy change and book closure. The one is "Guerrilla Salon", discursive dialogue sessions held with more than 35 artists, curators and critics organized by the joint venture of the 7th Gwangu Biennale (Art Director, Okwui Enwezor) and Insa Art Space (IAS) of the Arts Council Korea; and the other is "Unconquered: Critical Visions from South Korea", an exhibition project of 5 artists (Chan-kyong Park, Minouk Lim, Beom Kim, Young Whan Bae, and Sangdon Kim) co-conceived by IAS (curator, Heejin Kim) and Museum as Hub partnership.' - Publisher's website Note: The edited transcripts of the salons are in Korean only. |
