한국현대미술에서 예술적 아방가르드는 물론 정치적 아방가르드의 시대로 1960년대를 주목한다. 그 시작점의 4․19 혁명은 한국 민주주의의 이정표와 같은 사건이었고, 청년 작가들이 정치적 목소리를 낼 수 있는 계기였다. 정치 주체로 성장했고 또한 좌절했던 청년세대가 사회적 억압의 탈출구로서 미술현장에서 폭발시킨 매체 다양성은 반예술 담론으로 확장 가능성을 갖는다. 하지만 ‘저항’의 시기에 모더니즘 비평은 미술과 사회를 분리하며 시대의 전위에서 사회적 의미를 축소시켰다. 1960년 《벽전》에서부터 1970년대를 문 연 AG에 이르기까지 일관되게 고수된 모더니즘적 주류 비평에 대한 문제의식에서 본 논의는 시작된다. 저항의 시기에 평론가 이일이 제시한 ‘참여’의 화두를 중심으로 현실 인식의 간극을 살펴 ‘전위’의 의미를 환기한다.
조선족 작가 金仁順은 중국 내 ‘치링허우(70后)’를 대표하는 소설가의 한 사람으로 주목을 받고 있다. 그러나 그녀가 희곡 장르에서 뛰어난 재능을 지니고 있다는 사실은 많이 알려져 있지 않다. 그녀는 2004년 소극장용 희곡 <타인(他人)>으로 중국의 문단에 신선한 충격을 던졌고, 2015년에는 『요재지이(聊齋志异)』의 「화피(畵皮)」를 장막희곡으로 만들어 극작가로서의 위상도 굳건히 하였다. 본고에서는 <타인>을 중심으로 그녀의 희곡 창작이 지니는 드라마 기법의 특징과 주제의식을 탐색해 보고자 한다. 그녀의 희곡적 서사 방식은 상식을 뛰어 넘는 대담한 발상과 인물관계의 기발한 설정 등을 통해 극적 충격과 긴장감을 고조시키는 특징이 있다. 그리고 그것은 매우 현실적인 당대를 살아가는 인간 군상들의 실질적인 삶의 행태와 사회적 현상과도 맥락을 같이 한다. 격변하는 중국의 현실을 통해 인간관계가 와해되고 사회적 도덕과 윤리적 질서가 직면한 위기 상황을 매우 희화적으로 묘사하고 있다는 점이다.
In the U.S. restaurant industry where businesses struggle for survival, differentiation is considered key for success. However, there is limited research on measuring how unique or exotic a specific restaurant cuisine is perceived, since such perceptions vary by markets. In this paper, authors utilize digital geolocation history from social media records of restaurant visits across 40 types of restaurants in Chicago and San Francisco, and a two parameter Item Response Theory model to identify a) restaurants that are unique and considered more or less “difficult” to get to, and b) visitors who have more or less diverse palates. Further, palate diversity is explained by user demographics, restaurant selection criterion and behavior. Managerial implications and limitations are discussed.
The purpose of this study is to reestablish the innovative and experimental designs of Rei Kawakubo by considering and analyzing the flow on the avant-garde nature of her design collection from 1981 to 2017. Design trends such as the art trend, silhouette, color, and expressive technique showcased in Rei Kawakubo’s collection from 1981 spring/summer to 2017 spring/summer were examined through precedent studies, books, internet materials, and the avant-garde expressive nature of her designs appearing in modern fashion. Additionally, this study considers the definition of avant- garde and analyzes the expressive nature of Rei Kawakubo’s 137 works from the Comme des Garcons collection, exhibited in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. As a result of this examination, the avant-garde expressive nature seen in modern fashion was classified into the following themes: historicity, de-structure, exaggeration, intermixture, and surrealism. As a result of reclassifying these characteristics according to historical flow, the historicty, intermixture, and de-structure appeared in the 1980s, while intermixture, exaggeration, and de-structure appeared in the 1990s. More recently, historicity, intermixture, and de-structure appeared in the 2000s, and intermixture, de-structure, exaggeration, and surrealism appeared in the 2010s. The present study is significant in providing theoretical material for the more innovative and various design development in diverse domains while helping to define and understand the avant-garde expression through Rei Kawakubo’s collection.
본 논문은 1970년 아시아에서 최초로 개최된 일본만국박람회(日本万国博覽會)와 전위예 술에 대해 살펴보았다. 일본만국박람회를 국가 이미지를 표상하는 문화외교 정책을 위한 장으 로 파악하고 기존의 일본의 전후 미술사에서 잘 다뤄지지 않거나 지엽적으로 서술되는 데 그친 ‘환경(環境)’ 담론 및 테크놀로지를 강조한 환경예술의 예술가 협업 그리고 구타이미술협회의 후 기 활동에 해당하는 일본만국박람회 출품작에 대해 검토하였다. 여기서 테크놀로지를 이용한 전위예술 경향은 과학기술의 발전이라는 측면을 제시하였으며 이는 진보, 미래와 동일시되어 이를 강조하는 정부당국의 방향성과 합치되는 면이 있었던 것으로 보인다. 일본만국박람회에서 전위예술은 일본이 고미술 등의 전통 뿐 아니라 현대미술에 있어서도 문화대국으로서의 면모를 지니고 있음을 알리고자 했던 정부당국의 의도를 실현시키는 역할을 하였다고 볼 수 있다.
As a type of intimate architecture, fashion has always mediated the dialogue between clothes and the body, or fashion and figure. This study seeks to inquire the current aesthetic consciousness of the body and dress in Japanese avant-garde fashion and intends to research the features and meanings in the pastiche of Western sartorial convention in Japanese avant-garde fashion in order to examine the changing aesthetic attitude in postmodern fashion. The study investigates subjects of the fashion collections of the turn of the twenty-first century, when pastiche strategies frequently appeared in Japanese avant-garde fashion, through the methodology of literature research and case analysis. The results of the study are as follows: by developing the strategy of pastiche, Japanese avant-garde fashion exposes the defectiveness of the Western idea of the idealized and standardized body for mass productions, thus freeing design from its traditional confinement to the human body. Drawing on the re-conceptualization of the sartorial convention of Western tradition, Japanese avant-garde fashion designers tend to experiment with extreme exaggeration in form, refusing to subscribe to the traditional Western values built on the balance and symmetry of the body. Through the combination of the past and the present as well as the inner-wear as outerwear strategy, the historical pastiche challenges convention and symbolism, which results in the discord between signifiant and signifié of clothing.
The purpose of this study is ultimately subjected to the Orientalism, even though this deals with some positive effects in the realm of art and architecture as the scope of study, because through which the relationship between two different cultures will be discussed. That is to say, this research focused not only on how the presentation of ‘avant-garde’ visual art, which is explained as formal ‘purity’ and ‘abstraction’ as the characteristics of modern arts, could be made in the transition to the 20th's World, but also on what is the role and meaning of Eastern thoughts, which is popular in that time, for the new philosophical background of the artistic revolution. As a result, this study found that a lot of ‘avant-garde’ architects such as F. L. Wright, M. Mahony in Prairie School and L. Sullivan, D. Burnham, J. Root in Chicago School, and Lauweriks, H. P. Berlage who introduced Wright's works into the Europe, had possessed the ‘Universal Philosophy’ including Unitarianism, Transcendentalism, Deism, and Theosophy which are all influenced by Oriental religions and thoughts through historic western philosophers, although it is generally well-known that W. Kandinsky and P. Mondrian were belong to that. Furthermore, they gave attention to the Oriental religions and thoughts in that time, eventually made a historical progressive process of unification of thoughts between East and West. In a word, the new universalism was the philosophical background that made the artist's idea and presentation on ‘from Being into Becoming’.
From the late 1920s to the 1930s, Korea’s fine art community focused on traditionalviewpoints as their main topic. The traditional viewpoints were discussed mainly byKorean students studying in Japan, especially oil painters. Such discussions on tradition canbe divided into two separate halves, namely the pre- and post-Sino-Japanese War (1937)periods. Before the war, the modernists among Korea’s fine art community tried to gain afuller understanding of contemporary Western modern art, namely, expressionism,futurism, surrealism, and so forth, on the basis of Orientalism, and borrow from theseschools’in order to create their own works. Furthermore, proponents of Joseon’s avant-garde fine arts and artists of the pro-fine art school triggered debate on the traditionalviewpoints. After the Sino-Japanese War, these artists continued to embrace Westernmodern art on the basis of Orientalism. However, since Western modern fine art wasregressing into Oriental fine art during this period, Korean artists did not need to researchWestern modern fine art, but sought to study Joseon’s classics and create Joseon’s ownavant-garde fine art in a movement led by the Munjang group. This research reviews thetraditional view espoused by the Munjang group, which represented the avant-garde fineart movement of the post-war period. Advocating Joseon’s own current of avant-garde fine art through the Munjang literarymagazine, Gil Jin-seop, Kim Yong-jun and others accepted the Japanese fine artcommunity’s methodology for the restoration of classicism, but refused Orientalism as anideology, and attempted to renew their perception of Joseon tradition. The advocation ofthe restoration of classicism by Gil Jin-seop and Kim Yong-jun appears to be similar to thatof the Yasuda Yojuro-style restoration of classicism. However, Gil Jin-seop and Kim Yong-jun did not seek their sources of classicism from the Three-Kingdoms and Unified Sillaperiods, which Japan had promoted as a symbol of unity among the Joseon people;instead they sought classicism from the Joseon fine art which the Japanese had criticized asa hotbed of decadence. It was the Joseon period that the Munjang group chose as classicism when Japanwas upholding Fascism as a contemporary extremism, and when Hangeul (Korean writing system) was banned from schools. The group highly evaluated literature written in the styleof women, especially women’s writings on the royal court, as represented by Hanjungnok(A Story of Sorrowful Days). In the area of fine art, the group renewed the evaluation of notonly literary paintings, but also of the authentic landscape paintings refused by, and thevalues of the Chusa school criticized as decadent by, the colonial bureaucratic artists,thereby making great progress in promoting the traditional viewpoint. Kim Yong-junembraced a painting philosophy based on the painting techniques of Sasaeng (sketching),because he paid keen attention to the tradition of literary paintings, authentic landscapepaintings and genre paintings. The literary painting theory of the 20th century, which washighly developed, could naturally shed both the colonial historical viewpoint whichregarded Joseon fine art as heteronomical, and the traditional viewpoint which regardedJoseon fine art as decadent. As such, the Munjang group was able to embrace the Joseon period as the source ofclassicism amid the prevalent colonial historical viewpoint, presumably as it hadaccumulated first-hand experience in appreciating curios of paintings and calligraphicworks, instead of taking a logical approach. Kim Yong-jun, in his fine art theory, definedartistic forms as the expression of mind, and noted that such an artistic mind could beattained by the appreciation of nature and life. This is because, for the Munjang group, theexperience of appreciating nature and life begins with the appreciation of curios ofpaintings and calligraphic works. Furthermore, for the members of the Munjang group, who were purists who valuedartistic style, the concept of individuality presumably was an engine that protected themfrom falling into the then totalitarian world view represented by the Nishita philosophy. Such a 20th century literary painting theory espoused by the Munjang groupconcurred with the contemporary traditional viewpoint spearheaded by Oh Se-chang in the1910s. This theory had a great influence on South and North Korea’s fine art theories andcircles through the Fine Art College of Seoul National University and Pyongyang Fine ArtSchool in the wake of Korea’s liberation. In this sense, the significance of the theoryshould be re-evaluated.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the features of the avant-garde architecture in the end of the 20th Century based on the ontology as a metalanguage. In view of the results so for achieved, it is possible to say that the thought of becoming, topology, rhizome thought and the Deleuze's concepts of the fold and the event as ever-changing and evolving at any given time are found in the avant-garde architecture, and the introduction of ontological thought into architectural design encourage hopes for a more natural and existential quality in architecture. However, the avant-garde architecture in the end of the 20th century disclosed the limitation in the architectural expression of ontological thought due to the lack of fully understand on ontology. In conclusion, the ontological approach in architecture offers a new morphological methodology and a new way of programming considering the existential aspect of space through the bricoleur's means leaving the ontological meaning of architecture itself.
이 글은 무엇보다 역사적 맥락 속에 케이지를 놓고 보려는 시도이다. 그 밑바탕에 놓인 역 사적 관심사는 “삼중의 변증법적 대립”(칼리니스쿠 1994, xviii)의 전개로 서술되는 미적 모 더니티의 서사와 케이지의 관계이다. 특히 주목하는 것은 “역사적 아방가르드”(뷔르거)와 네 오아방가르드 사이의 이행기, 즉 케이지의 《4분 33초》(1952)에서 분수령을 이루는 시기이 다. 이 무렵 케이지의 작업에서 우리는 자기부정을 함축하는 아방가르드의 딜레마를 해소할 또 다른 논리를 찾을 수 있기 때문이다. 이로써 운명(殞命)을 운명(運命)으로 타고난 아방가 르드를 살리는 법을 케이지의 말⋅글⋅음악 가운데서 찾으려는 것이 이 글의 목표이다. 이 는 케이지의 후기 작업을 이해하는 데 결정적인 ‘우연성 이전 시기’에 대한 재평가와 연결될 뿐만 아니라 그의 텍스트 실천과 음악 실천 사이의 상호영향까지 확인할 좋은 기회를 마련해 줄 것이다.
역사적 아방가르드의 실패가 자신의예술적 성공에 놓여 있는 역설을 어떻게 이해해야 하 는가? 문제는 자율성이다. 그것은 철회되어야 할 부르주아 이데올로기인가, 계속 유지되고 존중받아야 할 역사적 성취인가? 이것 아니면 저것인가? 양자택일은 어떤 식으로든 부정성 에 헌신했으나 정작 그 자신이 기존의 긍정적 질서에 기생하거나 결탁하게 되는 일을 피할 수 없다. 그 이유는 첫째 예술의 자율성은 사회와 ‘매개’된 상대적 자율성이기 때문이다. 둘 째, 미적 모더니티 자체에 내재한 모순으로 인해 자율성과 타율성은 끊임없이 대립하면서 자 신과 정반대되는 것으로 끊임없이 전도되기 때문이다. 이와 같은 변증법적 시각에서 볼 때 아방가르드는 예술의 자율성에 반작용하는 한 모더니즘의 일부이기도 하고 또 예술제도를 문제시하는 한 모더니즘과의 단절이기도 하다. 양자택일의 진퇴양난에 빠지지 않는 길은 바 로 이 양면성의 논리를 깨닫는 것부터 시작할 수 있을 것이다.
