성곡 미술관에서 열린 천경우 교수님의 개인전.(Kyung woo Chun -ORDINARY UNKNOWN at Sung-gok gallery)
I went to see the exhibition without even knowing what kind of work Professor Chun was doing.
The professor's work included performances a lot, which made me fun to watch.
In the exhibition hall, I participated in two participatory works.
One was to enter a secret space, write an apology to someone, transfer the scraper to a shredder, and put the remains of the paper on the table.
Second was write the names of the precious people on the wall for one minute of music flow. I wrote down the names of my family and friends there.
I went to a installation 천개의 달, there was an instruction to pour water into a cup and appreciate the rise of the moon over the water.
But the moon did not came out. I thought I had done something wrong, but other people besides me complained that the moon didn`t come out.
If I were the owner of the installation, I would have simulated it more carefully before installing it.
It was an opening day, so many people were in a cluttered mood, and it was awkward because i didn't know anyone except my friend and professors. Personally, I wondered how the artist gathered participants for performance. Did he give everyone the money to participate?
And my legs hurt from walking around, and there was nowhere to sit in the museum. I thought there must be a place for people to sit down and relax.
