Museum of One working paper · Version 2.0 · 10 November 2026 · 16 pages · 42 references
Dorian Vale compares how photographs acquired artistic and institutional standing through copying, repair, printing, exhibition, collection, and reperformance in Korean experimental art. The three cases concern Rim Dong Sik (임동식), Kim Kulim (김구림), and Sung Neung Kyung (성능경). Version 2.0 adds the Seoul Museum of Art collection-transfer chronology, the Korean Senior Artist Digital Archive’s classification and digitization account, an exhibition checklist identifying video of Kim’s reperformance, and Kim Eunjin’s study of authenticity in contemporary art conservation.
Scope and limits. SeMA describes the copying and repair of Rim’s photographs. Item-level repair dates and transfer documentation remain unresolved. The source negative, print edition and authorization, purchase year, and recording lineage remain open for Kim’s work. MMCA identifies Sung’s collected twelve-print panel with the panel shown in 1976. The dates of manufacture and mounting of individual sheets remain unresolved. Three Korean journal articles are consulted through their published abstracts.
Relationship to Relational Archival Investigation. This paper and the RAI working paper and supplements share earlier analyses of Rim’s photographic repair and Sung’s photographic exhibition. The revision extends the comparison through Kim’s print and reperformance history, the new institutional records, and Korean conservation scholarship.
한국 실험미술에서 사진이 복제, 보수, 인화, 전시, 수집을 거치며 작품으로 인정되는 과정을 임동식, 김구림, 성능경의 사례를 통해 비교한다. 개별 사진의 제작과 처리 이력에는 미해결 문제가 남는다.
