September 21 th , I went to NO MORE ART exhibition in Page gallery , seoul forest station . * Purpose of this exhibition ‘ NO MORE ART ' is a art project that guides us to go through ' artist ' s life , the hot desire ' through not the usual way exhibiting the artist ' s work but ' artist ' s place where he lived ' ( refered to the page gallery ' s formal blog ) * Explanation of the worksThe first impression of ' no more art ' was ' Wow , it would be funny ! ' From this five words , we can know the topic of this exhibition . Contrary to usual ways to exhibit works side by side , the topic is saying that we can experience firsthand the LIFE of the artists . Viewing the exhibition , I felt like I was in 1950 ' s korea through the time machine ' Seoul forest station '. The first thing I watched was small market which was a reproduction of 1950 ' s Busan International Market . After Korea released from Japan at 1945 , in Busan there was lot of average lower middle class citizens who were going to start business - opening a market . However , at 1950 , following the outbreak of the Korean War , only Busan and some small area were left to unoccupied territory by North Korea , so most people started to sell their necessaries to earn money for their life . Furthurmore , American soldiers came to Korea , soon the market grew bigger and bigger . At this work , watching old cigarettes , snacks , I felt that I WAS in the market in 1950 ' s and doing some shopping . To that extent , that reproduction of market was so vivid and detailed . After that we have some opportunity to get into a coffee shop LEE - SANG operated . It was great to experience 1950 ' s old coffee shop , and the costume the acter wore was so vivid that we could see how LEE - SANG lived at that period . Next artist we saw was the great korean modern woman eartist , NA - HYE SEOK . She was said that she grew up in rich family . She chose Paris for her honeymoon resort , and the work she drew at Paris was very impressive at the point that the touch of the brush was so deep and fresh . After divorced with his husband , she worked hard as feminist to wake up woman ' s power in Choseon society . She was pretty more impressive to me , because it was unusual that the woman who lived in affluence in Choseon age became a feminist . Besides , I could feel ' Gauguin of Choseon ' LEE - INSEONG who expressed korean feature with deep coloring also considered white wall as canvas , and PARK - SOOGEUN who worked at a poor condition he was in . Actor who acted PARK - SOOGEUN was especially impressive , because I could see his detailed costume . HIs hair was roughly combing , and his hurted toe was bandaged : 　 it was enough to make me imagining him . At the end of korea modern art , we could view the great artist LEE - JOONGSEOB . As the word ' LEE - JOONGSEOB is cow and cow is also LEE - JOONGSEOB ', the bright red cow winking his eyes welcomed me . At his young age , he usually drew many dynamic - colored cow . Contrarily , at his old age he missed his family who went to Japan , so he drew his family with cigar - box or silver paper of gum case because he didn ' t have enough money to buy even paper . With this fact I could feel his desire to art . And we reached current art part . Even from the gate , I can ' t conceal my feelings . At the gate , there was video art that PAEK - NAMJOON who was said to video art ' s father . Dozens of television being together and making a huge picture despite of difference of size and length were very fantastic and marvelous . Next , who I met was KIM - JOONGMAN . He printed some photo like birds , trees , or sky with traditional korean paper . At first , what I could see was the floor of KIM - JOONGMAN ' s part . Contrary to other part , the floor was not the FLOOR . There was printed SKY at floor , also was swallow . The most impressive work that KIM - JOONGMAN who expressed dynamic things from static picture made was a view with a tree and there was snowing in picture . Watching that work , I felt like I was standing at snow - covered fields pelted with snow . Also I can watch some works that an artist named RICHARD PETTIBONE made . He started artist ' s way after watching A ​ ndrew Warhol ' s exhibition in late 1960 ' s when pop - art was prevailed . He was said to really be impressed to him , Andrew Warhol . As power of oil painting decrease after discovery of photograph , he thought that reproducting of same image has no meaning , so he prefered to directly painting returning photogragh to past . Furthurmore , in Page gallery I could view some space art . The artist were PETER ZUMTHER - he used furniture to art . He prefered harmony between nature and artificial place . The famous ' the Last Supper ' that made with his subjective artistic sense was especially stood out . Next , DAMIEN HIRST ' s part was particularly shocking , positive to me . First , a harmony between a scar of body and heart surgery depicting Christ and science was a real shock to me . Secondly , the thing that I could understand and agree with the topic the artist is saying through his works is very positive . He showed that , like the fact that people believed god in Middle age and science ( especially pills ) in Modern age , we have to make belief in ART . Also he expressed his thinking that death is not just negative thing through the work named ' The Skull Beneath the Skin '. The most impressive artist to me was definitely SAM FRANCIS . He originally was pilot . But he injured during war , so he started drawing art when he was in hospital . He gradually cured himself expressing his trauma through art . The most important source of art to him was COLOR ( As he said ' I want to draw red , and blue shadow '). Also during living in japan , he was influenced by Eastern ideas , so he was said that he felt impressed at beauty of space . The reasons why I liked this artist and these works are that , firstly , the works are so huge that we can ' t forget these images . And secondly , it was because of the feeling they gave to me . The strong power of blue was surely enough to hold my mind because the shape of some work which I added in this report is like a human dancing . The last was Chinese artist , XU BING . He thought that WE made word to communicate , but WORD is the one who gave huge influence to human . The most interesting work of his was a poem named ' The New English Calligraphy ' In this work , there was a poem ' 장진주 ' by LEE - BAEK . However in this Chinese poem , we can also find English . Finding some alphabets hiding inside Chinese was really funny . * After viewingThe song and dance which was started as soon as we entered were really interesting . Their costume was also attractive enough . Roughly combing hair , graceful dress which represented living in affluence , bandage at toe which showed bread earner artist made me easily understand those artists , and also made me feel like living at 1950 ' s . Besides , the concept meeting the overall stream of times from 1950 ' s korea to current era let me understand and agree the art easily who don ' t have professional knowledge Specially , the works SAM FRANCIS had my mind . It was grateful to me to watch BAEK - NAMJOON ' s actual work , and XU BING ' s work which was made especially for this exhibition ' no more art ' had really good rarity . Because of these reasons , contrary to other common exhibition , the exhibition ' no more art ' brought me more big , precious experience to me . - SAM FRANCIS - PETER ZUMTHER - DAMIEN HIRST - LEE - INSEONG - PARK - SOOGEUN - DAMIEN HIRST - KIM - JOONGMANNO MORE ART !
