첨부_주제 설명문(Theme Draft of Call for the Papers)

Theme; Art Criticism in a Labyrinth

What is the role of art criticism in a global environment? What new approaches can we suggest? And what methodologies do we need to develop, to deal with the diversities of expression and the complexities of the contemporary art world?

We believe it is necessary to look again at crucial issues, such as the relationship between the art critic and curator, the art market and art institutions, the audience and the artist, and art and society. All these factors are interdependent and have totally transformed the conditions for making and exhibiting art, and for communicating it to a public. Art criticism’s crisis of identity and difficulty with value judgment affects the way that we have come to think about its role and function. We need to review some of the artistic, economic, social and technological factors that have contributed to this condition. The Greek metaphor of the labyrinth might serve as a basis for our critical debates, and we hope that the forthcoming Congress, KOREA 2014,will provide us with some of the clues that we shall need to find a way forward.

The theme of AICA Congress Korea 2014 is composed of three sub-themes

1 - Art and art criticism in a divided society
2 - Critical writing in the era of social networking
3 - Discourse on contemporary Asian art

1 - will deal with the situation of the artist and aspects of art criticism in different societies and nations and will address some of the relevant social, ideological, religious, cultural and ethical factors. When art critics address aspects of social conflict, how can they make sure that their voices will be heard? What can they tell us, in relation to the widely different situations with which they are faced?

2 - will discuss the new opportunities for art criticism to address new audiences with the aid of social media. How far does the changed environment and conditions in the era of social networking affect the nature of art itself and call for new types of critical discourse? E-publishing, Facebook, Twitter and SNS Media have also challenged the economic base of the print media. How will critical debate be affected, in the future?

3 - will deal with contemporary Asian Art, and may be expected to generate a certain amount of controversy. What is contemporary Asian Art? For a long time most discourses on contemporary Asian Art were produced by Asian scholars, or art critics. European and American art critics who have engaged with the field have often had only a superficial knowledge and understanding of their subject, and deep-rooted misunderstandings are hard to dispel. Contemporary Asian art is progressive and has succeeded in carving out a space for itself in the new, globalised art scene – as evidenced by the numerous art institutions, collections, art fairs and biennales that have sprung up in the last two decades. Can Asian art and Asian art history still be treated as the West’s 'Other'?
