This study in Korean art history examines how museum collections and art archives support claims about Korean experimental art. Relational Archival Investigation (RAI) compares seven consecutive acquisition entries from the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea (MMCA), 2016 Annual Report with collection records 7922–7928. Two leading production-year assignments differ. Lee Kang-so’s published account distinguishes production from presentation for Painting–78–1. The discrepancy for Park Suk-won’s Jeok–Eungnyeok remains open. Further cases examine Sung Neung Kyung’s Reading Newspaper, Kim Youngjin’s 1978–2, Kim Yong-Ik’s Flat Object title history and Rim Dong Sik’s later repair of a performance photograph. The study separates what records identify from what they establish about a work’s production, naming, performance, exhibition and documentation. The seven-entry comparison is bounded and was selected retrospectively. Post-Interpretive Criticism provides the philosophical background.
한국어 초록
한국 실험미술의 작품 식별과 연대, 전시 및 기록의 관계를 살핀 연구다. 국립현대미술관(MMCA)의 2016년 연보 소장품 수집 목록 73–79번과 소장품 기록 7922–7928을 대조한다. 두 사례에서 제작연도가 다르게 제시된다. 이강소의 공개된 대담은 〈페인팅-78-1〉의 제작과 발표를 구분하는 근거를 제공하며, 박석원의 〈적-응력〉 연대 차이는 미해결로 남는다. 성능경, 김영진, 김용익, 임동식의 사례에서는 작품명과 전시, 퍼포먼스, 사진 기록이 가리키는 서로 다른 사건을 살핀다.
