AB - This paper examines the ripple effect of exhibit education through the experience of War Memorial that is one of state’s official organizations. From the works of contemporary photo artists, this paper particularly pays attention to the transmission pattern from the exhibit experience to ‘the cultural memory,’and ‘autobiographical memory.’ This paper addresses the changes of photo artists’ works along with the analysis of 2009’s revised education course (art department) to foresee the future influence of unification education that will be actualized by state’s institute.
The building intention of War Memorial and the purpose of exhibit education are basically the transmission of ‘official memory.’ In particular, War Memorial in South Korea is the very place where people are educated the ‘cause’ of divided country. In this sense, War Memorial functions as ‘the space for creating official memory’ that educates people state’s identity. However, when we examine the ideal human character or the educational objectives that 2009’s revised education course pursues, this function of War Memorial that emphasizes state’s viewpoint does not fit to the aim that government departments or public education institutions pursue. Considering the revised education course that particularly focuses on ‘experiential activity’ in community cultural facilities,their different direction can influence not only art department but also state’s cultural competition.
Under the circumstances, this paper objectifies War Memorial that uses official memory for ideology to focus on the photo artists who dissemble official memory and understand history in value-neutral and object point of view or who criticize war itself. These artists sublimate this official memory to art with their independent and critical appropriation. Here, we can find the accordant point with current revised education course. In this respect, War Memorial is a dynamic space where the collision and also the accordance with the education purpose appear. There is nothing equal to ‘war’ that spreads images and information fast. As much as its rapid speed, it requests critical thoughts to verify the meaning of information. Therefore, it is time to realign War Memorial as the space where restructures the knowledge for ‘universal peace education’ by closing the distance between generations. It can be a place both for critical thinking and for the sense of national security.
