The Logic of Resistance
In this gallery, artists bring to light the conflict between tradition and modernity, questioning what art and non-art, and looking into the clash between acquired and inherited knowledge. All of this unfolds during a time of major changes in these artists' reality and the unstable conditions they go through. Artists like Lee Kun-Yong, Sung Neung Kyung, and Kim Youngmin form the Space and Time Fine Arts Group where they challenged the old mediums by working across and discovering diverse mediums like photography and video. They were also known for their performance art where they reconceptualized the body as an artistic medium, describing it as an "event." under an oppressive regime that dictated personal appearances and daily activities, the Space and Time Group redefined daily life actions—walking, eating, reading, measuring—away from existing social conventions and capitalist principles.
