AB - In the history of postwar Korean art, Dansaekhwa has garnered international attention in terms of both art history and the art market. At the same time, the exhibition history of Korean art groups such as AG(Avant-Garde) attests to the diverse discussions and debates on the issue of ‘experimental arts’ in Korea. This paper analyses the art and essays of these experimental artists as well as critical protagonist Lee Yil. It also explores AG’s exhibition history in relation to “avant-garde modern art” that its journal pursued. In the journal, participants discussed the “environmentalization of spatial art,” “experience-based art theory” and “methods,” in Lee Yil’s terms. The members organized three major AG exhibitions and the Seoul Biennale(1974) and published the journal AG four times between its establishment in 1969 and its dissolution in 1975. They employed dematerialized nature in their works by responding to the urbanization of the Seoul metropolis at that time. Inspired by the Paris and São Paulo Biennales, the AG group considered “international contemporaneity” significant to their activities and exhibitions.
