회화의 위기-실제인가 공론(空論)인가 혹은 이론의 위기인가?

The Crisis of Painting - Is It a Reality or just a Paper Argument, or the end of Art Theory?

Image represents the real entity of value. Artists have been producing a great variety of images which commemorate, verify, or create the value of the time. Representing the need of the time as a symbolic power, paintings have formed the basis of the cultural production. However, it is true that things are getting lesser favorable for paintings. Nevertheless, they could again become the aesthetic foundation of all image-makings, if they return to this traditional function. For this they should retrieve their original value as craft. Since the crisis of painting is at issue, it is the time to make the new map of art more related to the question of designing every-day life itself through reading manifold aesthetic strata of painting and other new media like installation or photography.
