Formation of Korean Contemporary Ceramic Arts in Social Influence
박선우 Park Sun Woo
Abstract
Contemporary Ceramic Arts in Korea, as a rule, can be divided into ceramic livingware and ceramic as expression, that is, artwork. The former is based on the practicality that is the essence of ceramic art, and the latter was settled under the influence both Abstract-Expressionism and Minimalism in Contemporary Art. The one is a product of the capitalistic system, on the other hand, the other is a symbol of that. This study is concerned with the later, and so tries to reveal how the social phenomena have an effect on the symbol of art and what is the relationship between the social structure and it. This thesis, therefore, is focused on a subject of both the social structure and the structure of artwork. In this case, the premise is that the structure of artwork is correlated with the social structure, corresponds to it, and has homology with it. Founded on this premise, it is considered that what is the homology and relationship between the Contemporary Ceramic Arts and the social characteristic of modernization in Korea, which is the capitalistic modernization, or restraint and concealment derived from the autocracy of economic development. This approach suggests such a wide comprehension of Korea Contemporary ceramic art as social subject for discussion, as well aesthetic contemplation of it.
