GIM GWANG GEOL

Gim Gang Geol, artista (Corea del Sud)

The artist's perspective on society is existential. He went through 518 Gwangju pro-democracy movement (many people died by their own soldiers) and 1980 military coup. So his school days were under the military dictatorship. Naturally he had been thinking about personal freedom and democracy. After then, he started to read about Taoism, Buddhism, psychology, sociology, philosophy, and history. His first priority was philosophy but he entered art department and began painting and performance.

His sight is multiple and dialectical. And he recognizes each value in life itself. He take himself as an balanced principal agent moving around the society. Therefore his role is to creat humanistic discourses by broaden artistic expressions. Performance art is good way to do so. Because there are various way to do it - exhibition, presentation, festival, planning, achive, writing - and make things more plexible in this 'solid' physical world by stopping solidifying thinking. He is keep asking about humanity, human of artistic flexibility, naturality and civilization. His art method of communication is fun and creating space of think
