About the exhibition ONE AND J. Gallery presents Soyoung Chung’s Sea Cucumber, Manganese and Ear between June 3 and July 11—her first solo exhibition in five years. Chung has explored geology, oceanography and geopolitics through the objects surrounding us. This exhibition reorganizes the nine pieces of her works into three spaces along with curator’s text. Chung’s works have been produced while pondering philosophical questions about time that the myriad materials surrounding our lives have passed through. Chung said she found a stone one day, and it inspired her to imagine the time of the Earth. Her interest spontaneously reached beneath the Earth’s surface (geology) she stood on and above it (geopolitics). Erosion and deposition serves as keys to understanding the universal history of creation and annihilation. It was when her imagination extended from soil to continents, from horizon to borders, from cities to islands, to become new weaving stories of individual, historical, natural memories. Chung has recently expanded her vision into oceanic spacetime (oceanography), where there would probably be no human soul, no human being, ever. From a human’s point of view, imagining the hadal zone amounts to calling for a spacetime in another dimension, just as moving into the universe, toward infinity. The artist put forward a long-time consideration reflecting on geological movement and oceanic epoch to face them as they are. Sea Cucumber, Manganese and Ear leads to daily life across the water and earth surfaces, starting from the deep sea that no human would reach. The exhibition becomes a reservoir for stories with warped matters and inflections of the eyes. The events of time are embellished with embossed and etched figures, and they infinitely move to “a certain place”, according to the properties of matter. They are no less than potential affairs, a preview of what’s coming next. The place would perhaps realize the flow of the time that nothing would be concluded. With Chung, what if you follow a point of view of the substances, instead of your eyes capturing the physical substances? The Earth is hidden behind the things around us. I strain my ears, again, to the orbital echoes coming from between the stratum lines and the ocean facets. About the Title: Sea Cucumber, Manganese and Ear Sea cucumbers and manganese are metaphors for organisms and non-organisms that would potentially continue to be divided. Sea Cucumbers live deep in the sea. They would vomit the organs, and segment the bodies into two parts, to defend themselves from predators. The segmented bodies would be each individual entity—an outstanding capacity to regenerate that it is hard to determine when they would die. Called black gold, Manganese nodule is a mineral cluster containing cobalt, nickel, copper and others. It is formed through an accumulation of time in the lowest layer in the ocean. Not only it is used for oil refineries, aircraft engines and steel industries. But also it is a vital nutrient for the human body, and it helps grains to grow. It is an organism and non-organism, symbolizing an abstract time of the universe, that serves as an essential energy element for many creatures such as sea cucumbers reproducing themselves to live everlasting lives. An Ear is a part of the body, an organ of hearing and balance. It functions in this exhibition as a contact device corresponding to the outside world, a suggestion for such attitudes as ‘approaching’ and ‘nearing.’ 2 3. About the artist Soyoung Chung (b. 1979, Korea) received her DNSAP at Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris in France. She has held solo exhibitions at ONE AND J. Gallery (2021, Seoul), Offsite Art Sonje (2016, Seoul), Daelim Museum of Art (2013, Seoul), OCI Museum of Art (2011, Seoul), Project Space Sarubia (2008, Seoul), Kumho Museum of Art (2007, Seoul), Gallery Miss China Beauty (2006, Paris). She has also participated in group exhibitions at Delfina Foundation (2019, London), Total Museum of Art (2018, Seoul), Doosan Art Gallery (2018, Seoul), Hyundai Card Storage (2018, Seoul), SongEun Art Space (2018, Seoul), New Art Exchange (2018, Nottingham) and many more.

Island for Fishermen, 2021 In the ocean between South Korea and China, there is an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in which both countries have the right to economic participation; and there is a territorial sea in which each country exerts sovereignty. Somewhere between them, there is a submerged rock, called Ieodo, two square kilometers in size. Given the location and the size, the little islet fails to legally earn the territorial status. So no one can claim dominion. South Korea constructed the Ieodo Ocean Research Station on the rock at 40 meters below the sea level to study oceanography. Strained diplomatic relations over the jurisdiction is manifested by ropes and a couple of buoys, possibly from their respective EEZs. 4 Soyoung Chung, Rolling, 2020-2021. Steel, Powder Coating, Dimension variable. Photo by Uno Yi. Rolling, 2020-2021 Deep time. Just as usual, an unknown path passes a boundary. Iron is one of the most widespread heavy metals that has been with humans for a long time. The quality of sturdiness allows iron to have flexible elasticity; and the quality of heaviness encourages it to plow ahead. The US Army Camp Long was established in 1955 to support the Korean Army. It had been closed since 2010, and it went back to the public in 2020. The military’s factitious orbit has returned to the cycle of nature. Who would then occupy the place to produce the memory? The spatial orbit based on time does not coincide with the time orbit based on space. Incompatibility of time and space becomes the engine of locomotion. 5 Soyoung Chung, Drawing an Island, 2020. Single channel video, 5’ 33” (loop). Drawing an Island, 2020 A gray and stormy sky reveals an islet. Sunken rocks are not the only ones in an oceanic uproar, in which the deep, high waves leave traces. There are actually those who believe 11,000 years ago the rocks were an edge of a continent. Myriad oceanic stories reach terra firma to permeate daily lives. To be an island, a rock reportedly refused the lunar gravity. Today, circular wisdom draws a soundless ripple. 6 Soyoung Chung, Mirrors for Mirok Li, 2021. Silver Nitrate, Sodium hydroxide, Glucose, Ammonium hydroxide, Purified water, Tempered white glass, stainless steel, 80 x 120 x 6 cm each. Mirror for Mirok Li, 2021 Amnok River, or Yalu River, is a river on the border between North Korea and China. Standing before the familiar-but-strange waters, I was looking for something to fill the unattended time. I tried to pick up memories one by one that were floating from the river. Long ago, there was a man whose name was Mirok Li (1899-1950). He, too, recorded his memories coming to his mind before the waters. He let the anxiety go, expecting the river to carry it away. He left home to keep away from the turmoil. In his book, The Yalu Flows, Li stood on the Chinese soil to look back on his hometown across Amnok River. An outbreak of the pandemic disease has widened the distance. It has also spreaded distrust in each other, and the anxiety has brought about new borders. The remoteness has become a bubble to be broken. Sprinkling a glass with a chemical mixture of water and nitric acid, ammonia water, potassium hydroxide and others leads to a reaction that results in a reflection of the light on the glass surface. The stagnant water mixture makes a landscape. The remaining water is turned into a flower. Losing the intention brings about new stories on the layer. I see myself between the stains and blemishes in the awkward scene. 7 Soyoung Chung, Jet Lag, 2021. Steel pipe, metallas, bearing, fish net, powder coating, LED light, plywood, 160 x 270 x 300 cm. Jet Lag, 2021 I would say it was somewhere around 2019 when Soyoung told me about manganese—if asked where the beginning was. “On the deep sea is a mineral called manganese,” she said. “A strawberry has some in it, too. You need some love? Eat some manganese!” We talked and talked about manganese and others. It led us to converse about potatoes, and we started shooting the breeze about sea cucumbers. We watched a film on Netflix showing the reality of the marine destruction caused by the large-scale commercial fishing industry. I still don’t know what we were looking forward to.

  • Freie Universität Berlin Institute of Korean Studies
    Freie Universität Berlin Institute of Korean Studies Annual Report 2013 Director’s Welcome With this annual report, we give an overview of the manifold activities of the Institute of Korean Studies (IKS) at the Freie Universität Berlin. The IKS is an institution dedicated to teaching and research. Most of the energy of its staff is absorbed by the organisation and support of our undergradu- ate, graduate and doctoral students (numbering around 170 in total), as well as post-doctoral researchers and visiting fellows. However, in this report, we concentrate on research and other activities at the IKS. With respect to research, we continued with two projects that we started in 2009 and 2010, namely, ‘Circulation of Knowledge and Dynamics of Transformation’ and ‘Sharing the German Government Documents on Unification and Integration’, supported respectively by the Academy of Korean Studies in Seongnam and the Ministry of Unification in Seoul. Furthermore, two new projects were initiated in 2013. One of them is titled ‘Knowledge Transfer as Intercultural Translation’. This project, taking into account cultural and institutional differences, is intended to identify the conditions for the ‘translation’ of certain results of German unification research into the Korean context in order to establish their transferability. The other project is affiliated with the SFB 980 ‘Episteme in Motion’ and focuses on the 1 rise of private Confucian academies during the 16th and 17th centuries in Korea. This, surprisingly, led to pluralisation and at the same time orthodoxisation of knowledge. Apart from its teaching and research activities, the IKS organised nine international workshops and conferences and about 20 special lectures, including a lecture series on North Korean culture.

  • The Inflow of Western Knowledge and the Process of Internalization: Comparison of the Grass Roof and Der Yalu Fliesst
    The Inflow of Western Knowledge and the Process of Internalization: Comparison of The Grass Roof and Der Yalu Fliesst Lim Seon-ae The purpose of this study is to ascertain the differences between the inflow of Western knowledge and the process of its internalization as seen in The Grass Roof (Younghill Kang 1931) and Der Yalu Fliesst (Mirok Li 1946). These two works were considered leaders for a long time because they were published in English and German. The main point of this work, which is internalization and the acquirement of Western knowledge, is to show the differences among people, especially the difference between Younghill Kang’s Han Chungpa and Mirok Li’s narrator of Li Mirok. These two characters show the differences in comprehension of Western education, learning methods of Western knowledge, and the process of looking at the West. Their acts cause another kind of colonialism which is ironic and they are crit- icized as strengthening Orientalism in the West. But at the point that we over- came the obstacle of human species and languages, Younghill Kang’s and Mirok Li’s works should be acknowledged that they informed about modern Korea which disappeared by the over-use of foreign languages. They were the writers who showed that the nation was alive although their country was broken. Keywords : Younghill Kang, Mirok Li, The Grass Roof, Der Yalu Fliesst, western knowledge, traditional knowledge, internalization, reorganization of knowledge The Review of Korean Studies Volume 10 Number 1 (March 2007) : 91-104 © 2007 by the Academy of Korean Studies.

  • Transnational Encounters Between Germany and Korea
    PALGRAVE SERIES IN ASIAN GERMAN STUDIES Transnational Encounters between Germany and Korea AFFINITY IN CULTURE AND POLITICS SINCE THE 1880S edited by joanne miyang cho and lee m. roberts Palgrave Series in Asian German Studies Series Editors Joanne Miyang Cho William Paterson University of New Jersey Wayne, NJ, USA Lee M. Roberts International Language Culture Studies Department Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne, IN, USA This series contributes to the emerging feld of Asian-German Studies by bringing together cutting-edge scholarship from international schol- ars in a variety of felds. It encourages the publication of works by spe- cialists globally on the multi-faceted dimensions of ties between the German-speaking world (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and German- speaking enclaves in Eastern Europe) and Asian countries over the past two centuries. Rejecting traditional notions of West and East as seem- ing polar opposites (e.g., colonizer and colonized), the volumes in this series attempt to reconstruct the ways in which Germans and Asians have cooperated and negotiated the challenge of modernity in various felds. The volumes cover a range of topics that combine the perspec- tives of anthropology, comparative religion, economics, geography, his- tory, human rights, literature, philosophy, politics, and more. For the frst time, such publications offer readers a unique look at the role that the German-speaking world and Asia have played in developing what is today a unique relationship between two of the world’s currently most vibrant political and economic regions.
