Little more stories about my thoughts on Porjects and Artists

When I started to thought about trans-disciplinary at first, I didnt have any problems. I see so many things in every day life so integrated with all of those different areas of disciplins already.. just pick one. simple. i thought.


then here came the confusion.. while i was researching the artists and their works, made me think ( it is good thing, right? profesor? ).. there i was stuck.




1.Agnes Denes's work ..

when i saw Agnes Denes's work on Public spaces, it reminded of me the projects we have done in Korea, like 20 yesrs ago for many years.

Under the Park president's regin, we did alots of public projects nation-wide to recover the country from the wound of the civil-war.

we did every year one day, april, we all go to the mountains to plant trees or to do maintenace work on trees. in such organized manner more like the work she did organize.

so there was confusion occur to my mind, where is border line between social work and art work?

2.Joseph Beuys work to heal the western society..

also in Korea, again, there were so much propagandas as i can remember, good or bad.

first: against communists.. i thught they were not human like us when i was little.
and later against colonialism of America...
and against corruptions of government..

all that of propagandas, most of them, were were heavily involved with art works. songs, dances, posters, poems..etc. we were bombarded from them almost everyday for a long period of time, like these days publicity(commercials).

so there came another confusion to me..., which is the line of propaganda art and pure(?) art?
are we doing pure art? what is it then? is it really exist?


God bless me. thank you.
