QUESTIONS FOR NOW / 당장의 질문, sound installation, collaborative work, 2020

2020년 인천아트플랫폼 11기 시각예술분야 입주작가들이 코로나19로 인한 변화와 불확실성 속에서 예술의 의미와 역할, 창작의 조건에 관해 던진 질문에서 출발한 공동작업이다. 작가들은 개별 작품을 제작하는 대신, 현재의 상황을 함께 사유하고 토론하며 각자의 질문과 의견을 하나의 공동 기획으로 수렴했다. 이 과정에서 개별 작가의 시각성과 저자성을 내려놓고, 함께 논의하고 조율하는 과정을 작업의 중심에 두었다. 서로 다른 생각들이 만나고 충돌하며 형성된 공동의 목소리는 당장의 상황에 대한 단일한 답을 제시하기보다, 함께 질문하고 사유하는 행위 자체를 결과물로 드러낸다.

​

​A collaborative work by the 11th cohort of visual arts residents at Incheon Art Platform, Questions for Now emerged from questions concerning the meaning and role of art, as well as the conditions of artistic practice, amid the uncertainty brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Rather than producing individual works, the artists collectively reflected on the present situation and engaged in discussions, bringing their questions and perspectives together into a shared project. In doing so, they set aside individual visual identities and authorship, placing the process of collective discussion and negotiation at the center of the work. The resulting collective voice does not offer a singular answer to the circumstances of the time, but instead makes visible the act of questioning and thinking together.

20미터 남짓의 탑이있다. 10-15미터 거리를 두고 세워진 탑의 위에 사람의 신체를 연상케 하는 두 개의 팔이있다. 1791년 3월 2일 오전 11시에 Brulon 와 Parce의 약 16km 거리에서 si vous réussissez, vous serez bientôt couverts de gloire (당신이 성공한다면 나는 영광스럽게 느낄 겁니다.) 라는 문장을 보내는데 성공한다. 

현관문이 닫힌다. 높은 곳을 향하는 움직임은 방향성이 설정된 운동이다. 이동은 편집되어, 영상 속 여정이 된다. 지하철에서 버스로, 버스에서 다른 버스로. 이 수평적인 움직임은 ‘기술과 지식의 역사’에 아무런 저항력도 가지지 않은 것으로 보인다. 버스의 종착역에는 수직적 움직임을 위한 거대한 운송 기계가 있다. 이 기계를 지탱하는 강철밧줄은 시작 점과 끝점에 연결된 긴장에 의해 완만한 곡선을 그리며 봉우리로 이어져있다. 길게 이어진 강선 위로 거대한 몸뚱어리가 움직인다. 운동은 가속된다. 비교적 짧은 체감거리에도 불구하고 기계적 움직임은 수직적 이동과정을 손쉽게 생략한다. 운동은 가속된다. 달라진 기압과 온도에 집중하며 적절한 장소를 찾는다. 여기에서 적절한 장소란 다른 이에게 방해받지 않고 높은 공간적 특성을 유지하며, 인터넷을 사용할 수 있는 곳이다. 휴대폰을 열어 미리 휴대폰에 저장되어있던 데이터를 찾는다. 전송 버튼을 누르고 기다린다. 언어화 된 움직임은 데이터가 되어 높은 곳에서 평평한 곳을 통해 먼 곳으로 전송된다. 

본 작업은 독일에서 가장 높은 산인 Zugspitze에서 작가의 어머니에게 문자 메시지를 보내는 내용의 비디오이다. 작가는 일상적인 교통수단을 이용하여 목적지까지 이동하여 미리 촬영되어 있던 짧은 영상을 어머니에게 전송한다. 영상은 최초의 현대적 통신방식인 세마포어 Semaphore 신호체계를 바탕으로 만들어진 수기신호를 통해 ‘Dear Mum, you always wondered what I’m doing. Here is my art work. I’ll probably keep doing this.’라는 짧은 내용을 전달한다.

A tower stands 20 meters high. Erected on top with a distance of 10-15 metres in between, are two indicators reminiscent of human arms. On 2 March, 1791, at 11:00 am, the sentence, "si vous réussissez, vous serez bientôt couverts de gloire" (if you succeed, I will feel glorious), was successfully sent between Brulon and Parce, about 16 kilometres apart. 

The front door closes. The upward motions are set directional movements. The movements are edited and become the journey of the video. From the subway to the bus, from one bus onto another. This horizontal movement appears to have no resistance to 'the history of technology and knowledge'. At the bus terminus is a gigantic transport machine for vertical movement. The steel wires that support this machine connect the tension between the start and end point of the journey with a gentle curve leading up to the mountain peak. The enormous body of the machine moves over the long extended steel wire. The movement accelerates. With a sense of speed to the top, the mechanical movement of the cable cart easily disregards the difficult vertical journey up the mountain. The movement accelerates. Concentrating on adapting to the change in atmospheric pressure and temperature at the mountaintop, the appropriate location is considered. The ideal location is where there would be no disturbance from others, with the possibility to utilise the height of the location and access the internet network. From the mobile phone, the previously saved data is searched for. The file is selected and the ‘send’ button is pressed. The linguistic form of gestures becomes data, transmitted from a high place on a flat, to a place far away.

This work is a video of the artist sending a text message to his mother from Zugspitze, the highest mountain in Germany. The artist reaches his destination through ordinary means of transport and transmits the previously recorded video to his mother. The work is based on the semaphore signal system, the first modern communication method. Using semaphore signals, the artist delivers the short message, "Dear Mum, you always wondered what I’m doing. Here is my art work. I’ll probably keep doing this."

Glass Joe_Stunning Training#1, single channel film, 2018

Glass Joe is a French boxer in the 'Punch-Out' video game series from Nintendo. His character was based on the negative French stereotype of weakness and cowardice. Glass Joe appears at the first match of all games and due to his weakness, was used as an opponent in game controller testers.

 

​

Glass Joe_Image.jpg

Glass Joe's name is derived from the words - 'Glass Jaw', which is a title often granted to the worst team or player. (In Major League Baseball, the Los Angeles Angels, New York Mets, New York Yankees and Atlanta Braves have also been conferred that name.)

 

Glass Joe is the ideal victim of Nintendo, which largely represented the culture of the 90s. 

 

This work is a way of restoring this character's deleted memory.

This work is a project selling artworks by its weight.
Valuing goods by its weight is one of the universal ways in which we assign value to everyday objects. The value of art, however, needs to be assessed by taking into account numerous very subjective aspects. This project wants to ultimately question and critical view the art market by fixing the value of art in an objective manner - just by its weight

 Diese Arbeit ist ein Projekt bei dem Kunstwerke nach ihrem Gewicht verkauft werden.

 Den Preis von Produkten nach ihrem Gewicht zu bestimmen ist eine der am meisten verbreitetsten Methode der Wertbestimmung. Der Wert von Kunstwerken allerdings kann mit Rücksichtname auf zahlreiche subjektive Kriterien bestimmt werden. Dieses Projekt möchte letztendlich den Kunstmarkt in Frage stellen und kritisieren indem es den Wert von Kunst ganz objektiv bestimmt - nach dem Gewicht
