1960년대-1970년대 한국의 퍼포먼스와 미술가의 몸

This article explores the artistic process and practice in which artists employed their own bodies, creating a site of performativity, and a symbol of "mediation" of the world and otherness. In particular, it examines early pieces in the history of Korean performance art in the late 1960s and 1970s. It analyzes Jung Kangja’s performance creating a "gendered space" of femininity; Lee Kun- Yong’s "Logical-Event," based on the mediation of "languages" and his own body; and Lee Kang-so’s experimental work of 1973 called The Bar in the Gallery. Early Korean performance art marked the contingency of Korean Avant- Garde in the conservative and politically oppressed society of the era.
