AB - This essay explores Kang Kukjin’s early experiments with both sculptures and installation art. Although there have been numerous critical studies of the artist, only a few monographs have been published since his death. To reevaluate his early works, this paper examines the artistic formation of “Nonggol” in which six young and emerging artists of the 1960s participated. Although their works still represented the spirits of Informel abstract idioms, their manifestos and critical writings nevertheless are noteworthy. The next chapter looks at Kang’s participation in the “New Exhibition Group” and the formation of “the Union Exhibition of Korean Young Artists” in December of 1967. The last chapter examines the very indeterminacy of the sculptural language of his works in his first exhibition which took place at the Myungdong Gallery in 1973. Analyzing contemporary primary sources and material culture, this paper discusses Kang’s short-lived experiments in early sculptures and the formation of collective artistic groups.
