로컬서사 구성과 미학적 실천 - 광주 대인시장을 중심으로

Abstract

In this paper, attention is paid to the spatial practice of the art market-night market in Gwangju Daein Market, paying attention to the fact that local is not fixed only in a passive position accompanied by a globalization and is constantly reconstructed while connected to complex and multi-scales. Especially, I will focus on the aesthetic practice of the artists who actively engaged in the change of the Daein market since 2000. The emergence of artists and aesthetic practice lead to a change in the spatiality of the marketplace as the Daein market is re-contextualized as 'art'. And then, naming changes such as 'Daein Night Market' and 'Byeoljang(star market)' occur again. In the course of this change of name, changes in subjects such as Daein market-merchant, Daein art market-artist group, Daein art night market-youth seller are also found. Of course, there are multiple overlapping layers in this transformation. Therefore, the spatial practice of various subjects such as artists, spectators, local governments and tourists overlap not only the merchant - consumer but also the narrative of the place is constantly reconstructed through negotiation and dialogue of various subjects. However, this process should be endlessly put to the critical question if the locality was instrumentalized again as another global product emphasizing ‘difference’ or it really functions as a ‘driving force’ of becoming.
