Abstract

Four cases show how Relational Archival Investigation distinguishes artwork identity from the histories of naming, documentation and display. Kim Yong-Ik’s Flat Object materials distinguish the reported origin of a title variant from its later adoption. Rim Dong Sik’s Tying Reeds and Beard photograph records an action and bears evidence of the artist’s later repair. Sung Neung Kyung’s Reading Newspaper places photographic presentation within the work’s early public history. Kim Youngjin’s 1978–2 distinguishes a one-monitor presentation from a twelve-monitor arrangement at the 2016 Busan Biennale. The supplement attributes the institutional descriptions and retrospective testimony it uses and identifies the evidence needed to pursue unresolved questions. The cases are selected demonstrations developed within the same research programme.

Scope and limits

  • The four cases address Kim Yong-Ik’s Flat Object, Rim Dong Sik’s Tying Reeds and Beard, Sung Neung Kyung’s Reading Newspaper, and Kim Youngjin’s 1978–2.
  • The comparison separates the history of a title from its adoption, an action from the later repair of a photograph, an early photographic presentation from retrospective documentation, and one-monitor from twelve-monitor display.
  • These are selected demonstrations from the same research programme. They do not establish a general institutional error rate or independently validate the method across other archives.

Artists and works

Kim Yong-Ik (김용익；Kim Yong Ik); Rim Dong Sik (임동식；Rim Dongsik); Sung Neung Kyung (성능경；Sung Neungkyung); Kim Youngjin (김영진). MMCA distinguishes Kim Youngjin in its collection catalogue with the label “KIM Youngjin b”; the letter is a catalogue disambiguator.

Works discussed: Flat Object (평면 오브제); Tying Reeds and Beard (갈대와 수염 묶기); Reading Newspaper (신문 읽기); 1978–2.

한국어 연구 개요

한국 실험미술의 작품명, 퍼포먼스, 사진 기록, 비디오 설치를 네 사례로 살핀다. 서울시립 미술아카이브 자료를 통해 김용익의 〈평면 오브제〉 명칭 변이와 임동식의 〈갈대와 수염 묶기〉 사진에 대한 작가의 후속 보수를 검토한다. 국립현대미술관 소장품 기록은 성능경의 〈신문 읽기〉가 초기부터 사진으로 전시되었음을 보여 주며, 김영진의 〈1978–2〉 초기 단일 모니터 발표와 2016년 부산비엔날레의 열두 모니터 설치를 구분한다.

주제어: 한국미술; 한국미술사; 한국 실험미술; 미술 아카이브; 김용익; 임동식; 성능경; 김영진.
