개념판화(Conceptual Printmaking)와 동시대 미술의 장치

Abstract

This is the main point of this study: the change and expansion ofthe conceptual printmaking is to have a new view on the concept ofthe printmaking and, based on such understanding, express the printingwith a focus on thoughts and should interact with the contemporaryfine arts. What is reproduction with respect to expression, above everythingelse, should be the starting point of discussions over the originality. In the modern art which can be as diverse as how it is expressed,how the reproduction is spoken through what is, in other words, fromwhich point, the original creation should be looked at; in this sense,the discussion over the originality of the printmaking which is representedas plurality is becoming increasingly acute in the era ofsimulacre. The thinking of an original author is the beginning of reproductionand the differences and similarities that come from the duplicationis a printmaking phenomenon that keeps occurring in themodern art as continuous process. The attributes of printmaking in the contemporary art are found asobjects and their repetitive aspects can be seen as printmakingprocess. This study suggests that the main development of conceptualfine arts lies in the printmaking concept and the repetition and continuationthat explains this is the conceptual printmaking as the axisof conceptual arts. Also, the matter of existence should be statedwithin the introspection of printmaking and, in that context, the printmakingconcept has been approached to the matter of existence froma new point of view. The process of duplication which brings reproductionis also discussed to emphasize the fact that it is an importantaxis in the modern arts as one of the main terminologies. A concept in the contemporary arts is becoming more and more importantand the process of repetition in expression has continually giveninfluences. Since the printmaking, being an important part of themodern arts, makes concepts and creates forms, a single thought existsas a multiple objet and produces meanings. The mechanism ofprintmaking of such repetition and concept is offering powers to themodern arts through the interaction of relations.
