아티스트 레지던시 프로그램이 작가의 작업에 미치는 영향 연구 -연구자의 국내외 레지던시 참여 경험을 중심으로-

Abstract

This study analyzes the evolution of the formative spectrum in the researcher’s work, drawing from experiences in various environments and workspaces during participation in domestic and international artist residency programs from 2009 to 2020. Based on the formative changes evident in the researcher’s work, the aim of the paper is to explore how changes in the working environment and support from art institutions influence the artist’s creative process, while also examining the necessity and role of residency programs in advancing the artist’s professional development. The researcher took part in residency programs across six regions—Seoul, Ansan, Goyang, Taipei, Kaohsiung, and Tokyo- experiencing a variety of shifts and expansions in both the formal aspects and content- related dimensions of the work. These experiences form the basis upon which the research methodologies are outlined as follows: (a) The researcher’s participation in various residency programs is analyzed by dividing them into different time periods; (b) The residency institutions are categorized into two sections, and the process of the work’s transformation is examined through the key concepts of ‘exploration of media’, ‘expansion of images’, and ‘communication of relationships’, focusing on the characteristics of the work revealed in each residency; (c) For each section, the researcher&s artwork images are included to analyze how the physical changes in the studio and psychological shifts in the researcher influenced the work from a formative perspective. The accomplishment of this study is to demonstrate the impact of the residency programs on the artist’s growth based on an analysis of the art projects produced through the researcher's actual experiences of participating in the residency programs. In this paper, alongside the analysis of the researcher’s work, the drawing workshop conducted with local residents in Tokyo and the solo exhibition organized in collaboration with a local stationery store in Kaohsiung will be examined to explore the impact of these programs on specific regions. Ultimately, the residency program is understood as a dynamic space where the artist's thought process and work format continuously expand. In light of this perspective, the future direction will be examined, with an emphasis on the mutual development of both the artist and the residency program.
