Once upon a Time in Asia: Bandung Spirit and Art in Solidarity
Date: 2019.11.21~22, 13:30~16:30
Venue: Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts, TNUA
Lecturer: Dong Jin Seo


Introduction

One seems to be caught in a Global Art. It is remained by the apparatuses and technologies such as biennials, triennials and documenta held in newly built museums which aims to boost the tourism and its related business. It has an assumption that it might connect and communicate the art practices sprung from the local with the global. But we are aware that it leads to no different form of art than the commodity in ‘global standard’ which is produced in neo-liberalist global economy. It is delegated to the celebratory curator to think critically the conjuncture of art across the world and build the common aim for the future. Then it is necessary to the fragments which tried to unite and bridge a wide range of artist, critics, intellectuals and gallerists in Asia, Africa and Latin America under the banner of Third Worldism without any nostalgic reflection. It offered the utopian stage to embrace de-colonial and internationalist art practices and suggest heterogeneous models of art institutions and spectator-ship. It will be an anachronistic journey to discover the latent future buried in yesterdays.
