SMALL ART HISTORY
Photographs, texts, dimensions variable, 2017
Installation view, Kukje Gallery, Seoul, 2017
In Small Art History 1-2, Park recreates his own version of art history by reconfiguring select artworks across the ages bridging the East and the West. Using the discourses on the aesthetics of the sublime, art institutions, appropriation, photography with texts, and East Asian culture and history as an axis, he studiously avoids a chronological narrative of art history or the false categorization of the East and the West. By doing so, Small Art History 1-2 questions the underlying criteria of conventional art history while at the same time critiquing and celebrating their inherent falsehoods.
