Young ha KimBe an artist right now

The theme of my talk today is,"Be an artist, right now."

Most people, when this subject is brought up,get tense and resist it:"Artdoesn't feed me, and right now I'm busy.I have to go to school, get a job,send my kids to lessons ... "You think, "I'm too busy. I don't have time for art."There are hundreds of reasons why we can't be artists right now.Don't theyjust pop into your head?There are so many reasons why we can't be,indeed, we're not sure why weshould be.We don't know why we should be artists,but we have manyreasons why we can't be.Why do people instantly resist the idea ofassociating themselves with art?Perhaps you think art is for the greatly giftedor for the thoroughly and professionally trained.And some of you may thinkyou've strayed too far from art.Well you might have, but I don't think so.Thisis the theme of my talk today.We are all born artists.If you have kids, you know what I mean.Almost everything kids do is art.They draw with crayons on the wall.They dance to Son Dam Bi's dance on TV,but you can't even call it Son DamBi's dance -- it becomes the kids' own dance.So they dance a strange danceand inflict their singing on everyone.Perhaps their art is something only theirparents can bear,and because they practice such art all day long,peoplehonestly get a little tired around kids.Kids will sometimes perform monodramas --playing house is indeed amonodrama or a play.And some kids, when they get a bit older,start to lie.Usually parents remember the very first time their kid lies.They're shocked."Now you're showing your true colors," Mom says. She thinks, "Why does hetake after his dad?"She questions him, "What kind of a person are you goingto be?"But you shouldn't worry.The moment kids start to lie is the momentstorytelling begins.They are talking about things they didn't see.It's amazing.It's a wonderful moment.Parents should celebrate."Hurray! My boy finallystarted to lie!"All right! It calls for celebration.For example, a kid says, "Mom,guess what? I met an alien on my way home."Then a typical mom responds,"Stop that nonsense."Now, an ideal parent is someone who responds likethis:"Really? An alien, huh? What did it look like? Did it say anything?Wheredid you meet it?" "Um, in front of the supermarket."When you have a conversation like this,the kid has to come up with the nextthing to say to be responsible for what he started.Soon, a story develops.Of

course this is an infantile story,but thinking up one sentence after the nextisthe same thing a professional writer like me does.In essence, they are notdifferent.Roland Barthes once said of Flaubert's novels,"Flaubert did notwrite a novel.He merely connected one sentence after another.The eros

2/5

between sentences, that is the essence of Flaubert's novel."That's right -- anovel, basically, is writing one sentence,then, without violating the scope ofthe first one,writing the next sentence.And you continue to makeconnections.Take a look at this sentence:"One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking upfrom anxious dreams, he discovered that in his bed he had been changed intoa monstrous verminous bug."Yes, it's the first sentence of Franz Kafka's "The

Metamorphosis."Writing such an unjustifiable sentenceand continuing inorder to justify it,Kafka's work became the masterpiece of contemporaryliterature.Kafka did not show his work to his father.He was not on goodterms with his father.On his own, he wrote these sentences.Had he shownhis father, "My boy has finally lost it," he would've thought.And that's right. Art is about going a little nutsand justifying the nextsentence,which is not much different from what a kid does.A kid who hasjust started to lieis taking the first step as a storyteller.Kids do art.They don't

get tired and they have fun doing it.I was in Jeju Island a few days ago.When kids are on the beach, most of them love playing in the water.Butsome of them spend a lot of time in the sand,making mountains and seas --well, not seas,but different things -- people and dogs, etc.But parents tellthem,"It will all be washed away by the waves."In other words, it's useless.There's no need.But kids don't mind.They have fun in the momentand theykeep playing in the sand.Kids don't do it because someone told them to.They aren't told by their bossor anyone, they just do it.

When you were little, I bet you spent time enjoying the pleasure of primitiveart.When I ask my students to write about their happiest moment,many writeabout an early artistic experience they had as a kid.Learning to play piano forthe first time and playing four hands with a friend,or performing a ridiculousskit with friends looking like idiots -- things like that.Or the moment youdeveloped the first film you shot with an old camera.They talk about thesekinds of experiences.You must have had such a moment.In that moment, artmakes you happybecause it's not work.Work doesn't make you happy, does

it? Mostly it's tough.The French writer Michel Tournier has a famous saying.It's a bit mischievous,actually."Work is against human nature. The proof is that it makes us tired."Right? Why would work tire us if it's in our nature?Playing doesn't tire us.Wecan play all night long.If we work overnight, we should be paid for overtime.Why? Because it's tiring and we feel fatigue.But kids, usually they do art forfun. It's playing.They don't draw to sell the work to a clientor play the pianoto earn money for the family.Of course, there were kids who had to.You

know this gentleman, right?He had to tour around Europe to support hisfamily --Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart --but that was centuries ago, so we canmake him an exception.Unfortunately, at some point our art -- such a joyfulpastime -- ends.Kids have to go to lessons, to school, do homeworkand ofcourse they take piano or ballet lessons,but they aren't fun anymore.You're

7/29/2019 Young Ha Kim Be an Artist Right Now

3/5

told to do it and there's competition. How can it be fun?If you're in elementaryschool and you still draw on the wall,you'll surely get in trouble with yourmom.Besides,if you continue to act like an artist as you get older,you'llincreasingly feel pressure --people will question your actions and ask you toact properly.Here's my story: I was an eighth grader and I entered a drawing contest atschool in Gyeongbokgung.I was trying my best, and my teacher came

aroundand asked me, "What are you doing?""I'm drawing diligently," I said."Why are you using only black?"Indeed, I was eagerly coloring thesketchbook in black.And I explained,"It's a dark night and a crow is perchingon a branch."Then my teacher said,"Really? Well, Young-ha, you may notbe good at drawing but you have a talent for storytelling."Or so I wished."Now you'll get it, you rascal!" was the response. (Laughter)"You'll get it!" hesaid.You were supposed to draw the palace, the Gyeonghoeru, etc.,but Iwas coloring everything in black,so he dragged me out of the group.There

were a lot of girls there as well,so I was utterly mortified.None of my explanations or excuses were heard,and I really got it big time.Ifhe was an ideal teacher, he would have responded like I said before,"Young-ha may not have a talent for drawing,but he has a gift for making up stories,"and he would have encouraged me.But such a teacher is seldom found.Later, I grew up and went to Europe's galleries --I was a university student --and I thought this was really unfair.Look what I found. (Laughter)Works like this were hung in Basel while I was punishedand stood in front of

the palace with my drawing in my mouth.Look at this. Doesn't it look just likewallpaper?Contemporary art, I later discovered, isn't explained by a lamestory like mine.No crows are brought up.Most of the works have no title,Untitled.Anyways, contemporary art in the 20th centuryis about doingsomething weird and filling the void with explanation and interpretation --essentially the same as I did.Of course, my work was very amateur,but let'sturn to more famous examples.This is Picasso's.He stuck handlebars into a bike seat and called it "Bull's

Head." Sounds convincing, right?Next, a urinal was placed on its side andcalled "Fountain".That was Duchamp.So filling the gap between explanationand a weird act with stories --that's indeed what contemporary art is all about.Picasso even made the statement,"I draw not what I see but what I think."Yes, it means I didn't have to draw Gyeonghoeru.I wish I knew what Picassosaid back then. I could have argued better with my teacher.Unfortunately, thelittle artists within usare choked to death before we get to fight against theoppressors of art.They get locked in.That's our tragedy.

So what happens when little artists get locked in, banished or even killed?Our artistic desire doesn't go away.We want to express, to reveal ourselves,but with the artist dead, the artistic desire reveals itself in dark form.Inkaraoke bars, there are always people who sing"She's Gone" or "HotelCalifornia,"miming the guitar riffs.Usually they sound awful. Awful indeed.
