PROGRAM INFORMATION

Recent times are seeing increased interest and discussion in the arts and culture education sector on topics of social practices of art, social participatory art, and other modes of social exchange and interaction for the arts and artists. If the essence of the existence of the arts is to afford experiences to people and to allow communication with others, then all art is inevitably social. In the areas of the performing and multidisciplinary arts, how is “contemporary art as social practice” to be conceptualized or defined?
If the object of traditional arts education is to provide artistic experience and exchanges to yield educational outcomes and effects, then in the tides of change emphasizing the social practice and intervention aspects of the arts and culture, what new education value can be created by art as social practice on the part of artists? Does this diverge from the formats and values of traditional arts education?

SpeakerJin-yeob LeeDirector, Elephants Laugh

In 2009, I started a company called “Elephants Laugh” which specialises in creating interactive performances. Each performance is focusing mainly on three essential aspects; a specific site, a community and some participatory elements. I am aiming at connecting life and art, by holding performances not on stage but closer to our lives. The performance theme exposes social issues and social minorities. It intentions to stimulate the audience. It encourages them to reflect on their daily life and challenge them to confront the way they perceive themselves and the boundaries of our society.
