Abstract
This documentary supplement records the sources, work identifications, comparisons and judgments supporting Relational Archival Investigation. It pairs all seven acquisition entries 73–79 on printed pages 39–40 of MMCA’s 2016 Annual Report with collection records 7922–7928 (management numbers 07909–07915) and retains agreements, discrepancies and unresolved cases. Additional sections document the Jeok–Eungnyeok inquiry, the evidence for the extended case studies and Lee Kang-so’s Paris sequence. Selected excerpts, paraphrases and institutional identifiers make the comparisons traceable. The seven-entry block was selected retrospectively. The supplement attributes descriptions and transcriptions to the institutions that published them and gives the consultation date separately from the dates of the historical events.
Scope and limits
- Acquisition entries 73–79 on printed pages 39–40 of MMCA’s 2016 Annual Report are compared with collection records 7922–7928, management numbers 07909–07915.
- The supplement retains agreements and unresolved comparisons as well as differences. It records source locators, attributed descriptions, selected excerpts and consultation dates.
- Institutional transcriptions and retrospective accounts remain attributed to their sources. Consultation dates do not date the historical events, and this document does not claim complete access to the institutions’ internal archives.
Artists and works
Lee Kang-so (이강소；Lee Kangso, Lee Kang So); Park Suk-won (박석원；Park Suk Won); Sung Neung Kyung (성능경；Sung Neungkyung); Kim Youngjin (김영진); Kim Yong-Ik (김용익；Kim Yong Ik); Rim Dong Sik (임동식；Rim Dongsik). MMCA distinguishes Kim Youngjin in its collection catalogue with the label “KIM Youngjin b”; the letter is a catalogue disambiguator.
