생태주의적 관점의 도자조형 연구

Abstract

In the change and stream of age, this study is on discussion in ecological terms about a solution for ecological crisis which is continuously posed and the possibility of ecological movement through Art. Generally, it is said that social concern about the environment has started since the 1960’s. Since then, researches spread to various fields of science, philosophy, politics, etc. Art also started to take a social role as it began to express concern about balanced relationship of life and environment. Recognition of art as a part of nature and environment arouse along with skepticism about modernism, a trend at that time, separated from life. Discussion about art expression began to involve a theme of existence of environment and life. This study will examine arguments of radical ecology and social ecology which are this researcher’s theoretic background and analyze this researcher’s art works which are molding philosophical and social ideas of ecology. That is to suggest another art expressive methodology to involve warning to ecological problems. The researched works were analyzed by classifying them on the focus of a theme, ‘relationship,’ which were the basis of ecological theories. They were divided into one type of works to express dualistic relationship in which human and other creatures are separately considered and the other to express monistic relationship in which all creatures including human are equally recognized. In this respect, research on works based on philosophical and social consideration of ecology will make it possible to select more objective and logical themes and expand social function of installation expression as well.
