Moving Images in the Post-Medium Age
Moderator: Kim Jihoon
Panel: Park Chan-Kyong (Artist),
Seo Hyun-suk (Prof. Graduate School of Communication & Art, Yonsei),

The works shown in this event were created in a series of conditions under which the conventional aesthetic and institutional definition of a medium were disintegrated and disturbed. A group of experts coming from film theory, video art and art criticism will exchange opinions about such phenomena and will produce a forecast towards the present and future of moving images and time-based media.

Lecture
Lecturer: Kim Jihoon


Lecture programs are offered in three sessions with different topics that cast questions on the historical, cultural and technological context of ‘artist film & video‘. The lecture will first give insight to the rich art history of moving images since World War II while also summarizing theoretical discourses that are relevant to the current exhibition in Insa Art Space. In the 2nd and 3rd sessions, multi-layered relationships between film and video will be discussed in view of media theory, film theory and contemporary art critics to grasp how moving images could be expanded into a wide range of applicable mediums.

The IAS workshops promote voluntary participation and personal ownership of the process rather than structured indoctrination. Away from giving one-sided instruction, the IAS workshops encourage participants to get motivated and activated in the course of discussion.

It is hoped that participants will proactively delineate the issues and agenda relevant to the field of the visual arts, refine them, and thereby “pre-empt ” the future discourses and activities in the practice of the visual arts.
