요약
This article attempts to analyze the exhibition "Everyday, Memory, History-Korean Art and Visual Culture after Liberation", which was planned as a special exhibition of the 2nd Gwangju Biennale. This exhibition examines the trend of political and social changes in Korea since 1945 through visual culture. This exhibition has various implications. This exhibition reveals the atmosphere of the times of (visual) cultural transformation, and is remembered as a symbolic event of planning transformation in exhibition creation. This article examines the background in which the exhibition was built, what is ultimately requested through the exhibition, and what effects have occurred based on this. For the development of the discussion, we will look at the situation in the Korean art and design world in the 1990s, and to analyze the conceptual layer established through the exhibition, we will look at the experience of modernity, the country, the individual, and the discussion on visual culture. And I would like to examine the concept of kitsch, emphasized through this exhibition. Through this, I will examine the meaning of exhibition culture, an axis of Korean visual culture in the 1990s, and the meaning of exhibition and exhibition creation as a medium.
