In the winter of 1973, Tony Conrad had a strange thought while lying in his attic looking up at the ceiling. It seemed physically impossible to him that one could wind a film with a really long running
time onto a single reel. To realize the idea—and to construct the mechanical system necessary for it— would require extensive research.. Then suddenly he noticed that the surface of the ceiling was discolored yellow when only a year ago it had been painted white, and he realized that there was no difference between cheap paint and film emulsion. With that realization, the longest film in the world, Yellow Movie 2/16- 26/73 (1973) was born.
At the very beginning of cinema, the ‘Cinematic’ already referred to something elusive, or a hybrid of infinite varieties. Chrissie Iles took as an example Duchamp’s Anémic Cinema (1926), which was projected onto a non-conventional screen, and pointed out that the screen was the most central and decisive question, adding that the discourse on social space was much more important than the distinction and opposition between museum and cinema. A spatial rather than ontological turn that asks not ‘what is cinema’ but ‘where is cinema,’ perhaps a symptom of an anxiety or uncertainty that cinema could no longer merely be a time-based art form. Films without any material foundation— such as Conrad’s Yellow Movie — suggest that film could only exist with technical/cultural/spatial ideas that contain temporality to a minimal degree. This kind of attitude reveals the boundary between time- based and non-time-based art. Boris Groys wrote that the contemporary archives were constructed like detective stories in order to produce ‘infinite suspense.’ Films that conceptualized the cinematic by exploring its outer limits share a strong affinity with most contemporary video installations, where any one-to-one correspondence between spectator and art has become utterly impossible. Rather than saying that this situation is a failure, one could call it an experience that is infinitely suspended.

The talk forum titled From Other Asias to Bigger Asias, which will be held in the Audio Visual Pavilion at 7 p.m. on May 14th, 2015, comes from numerous conversations between Korean art researcher Kim Hyo-jeong and Vietnamese art researcher Do Tuong Linh.
After receiving her degree in art theory at Korea National University of Arts, Kim Hyo-jeong visited Vietnam several times to prepare her thesis on Vietnamese art. She spent half of 2013 collaborating with Dia/Projects in Ho Chi Minh City, and the other half with the Vietnam National Museum of Fine Arts in Hanoi in 2014. During her stay in Vietnam, she was able to meet a number of people from the art circles and learn about Vietnamese art. Around that time, she met Do Tuong Linh, who was the same age as Kim. The two turned out to share many things, especially their view on art.
Meanwhile, Do Tuong Linh studied art theory at Vietnam National University of Fine Arts and has been deeply involved in the Vietnamese art circles for the past decade through various galleries, art institutions and art projects. Nhasan Studio, Hanoi doc lab, Art Vietnam Gallery, and other galleries where she worked for became landmarks in the contemporary art history of Vietnam. Also, she has been actively participating in major art symposiums and conferences held in surrounding countries including Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.
Through conversations with Do Tuong Linh on Vietnamese art history, Kim Hyo-jeong found her perspectives on Vietnamese art to be different from those of western researchers, and also realized that both Korea and Vietnam can be considered “third world” or “exotic strangers” in the eyes of westerners. From this point of view, she poses questions to the Asian countries that are growing increasingly eager to become “the center of Asian art.”
As for Korea, its aspiration to embrace other Asian countries as the center of Asian art can be seen from its recent effort to hold the SeMA Biennale Media city Seoul 2014 and establish the Asian Culture Complex. This is an attempt to bring the individual Asian countries together, departing from the shared history of colonization and the Cold War and imagining a bigger Asia. It seeks to create a new order by placing itself in the center, breaking away from its previous role as a marginal player.
In this context, the story of Do Tuong Linh who comes from one of the “other Asian countries” allows us to see where our attempts to connect various Asian countries based on their contemporary art will prove feasible, and where such attempts would eventually fail.
Part 1 will cover how artistic practices influenced by western culture germinated in Vietnam and developed so far, and the responses of Vietnamese artists toward them. It will introduce artistic activities that occurred in Ho Chi Minh City’s San Art in the 2000s, centering on Nhasan Collective in Hanoi in the late 1990s. In addition to these representative accounts in the contemporary Vietnamese art history, Do Tuong Lin will narrate small scale movements in the country that she experienced and personally observed as a native of Vietnam.
Part 2 will address the exhibition Hoan hô, held in Hanoi, Vietnam, on May 3, 2015, which was planned by Do Tuong Linh. Depicting political propagandas and social life in the communist country by adopting a methodology of the art of political propaganda, this exhibition features artwork newly designed and installed in line with the theme of the exhibition, produced by about thirty Vietnamese artists. It tried to demonstrate the changed status of the existing political propaganda art as well as new propaganda in today’s Vietnam, where post-communist transition has been in progress, and consumerism is widespread. Through the talk forum From Other Asias to Bigger Asias, Kim Hyo-jeong and Do Tuong Linh intend to go beyond delivering information on the Vietnamese contemporary art, by offering constructive criticism on the imagination toward a “Bigger Asia” and sharing opinions regarding “other Asias” and their perception toward art with art audiences in Seoul.

Botanical miniaturist Lee So-yeong’s illustrated plant book Botanical Miniature Painting Book, Herb (Your Mind Publishing) is a collection of information on a total of fifty-six kinds of various plants, with a focus on thirty among them. The collection includes traditional Korean plant species that have been used without being recognized for their specific varieties. Instead of drawing beautiful illustrations based on plant materials, she focused on recording their shapes and structures as specimens in order to ensure clear identification and scientific classification of the plants. Through repeated collections and observations, the artist also divided and recorded detailed varieties of herbs that have commonly been classified as the same variety. We recommend that you take the time to closely observe the various plants in their surrounding through these thorough and meticulously depicted illustrations.
A relevant exhibition will be held in the Audio Visual Pavilion, located in Tongin-dong, in time for the publication of this book in August. The exhibition will be divided into three sections. One will be used to display original paintings portrayed by marking patterns and connecting dots on the tracing paper; another to feature a workroom which is compressed and rearranged using module furniture; the last to screen a film depicting the process of completing a piece of miniature painting. Small Studio Semi, a carpenter’s workshop, built the furniture for the exhibition. Artist Lee will hold a special session on the evening of Thursday, August 14, the first day of the exhibition, to describe the varieties of plants and miniature paintings.

Director Jung Yoon-suk of the movie, Non-fiction Diary, will meet with reporter Ko Na-mu of Hankyoreh newspaper who authored a book titled Chun Doo-hwan, Man Still Alive, at the Audio Visual Pavilion on August 2, Saturday, 2014. Released this summer after a long period of research, interviews, and editing process, Non-fiction Diary is a controversial film tracing back the chains of desire of the Korean society in the 1990s, while exposing reality in 2014 with monstrosity. Chun Doo-hwan, Man Still Alive (Book Comma Publishing, 2013), looking back on the periods the former president Chun was in power from the perspective of a person born in 1976, is an undisclosed file of reporter Ko who spent several years covering news on the former dictator. The director and reporter thoroughly explore Korean society in the 1990s from the viewpoint of people in their mid- to late 30s, through the two different media of film and book. They discuss what critical issues came up in the 1990s, and what recording on this era via their specialized media, filming and writing, respectively, means to them.

Kafka’s short novel, Ein Hungerkünstle (A Hunger Artist), depicts a clown who chooses starvation as a way of life for his art, since he has no talents except performing a fast. Lee Yeong-jun who cannot do anything but write exposes himself as a writer to the public. With the 338-meter Mt. Inwang behind him, he will write stories about 8,000-meter mountains and great human beings who conquered them, as well as ordinary people who drink soju on 700- meter mountains today. Kafka’s fasting clown eventually starves to death. Will writing be the death of Lee?
