AB - This paper examines the cases of Eco-Art exhibitions and works based on ecological thinking that have recently been discussed in the Korean art world. Korean Eco-Art exhibitions have become important loci for ecological discourse, such as climate, earth, environment, ecology, sustainability and anthropology, and suggest eco-friendly exhibition methods. Many eco artists are also trying to restore the relationship between art and nature. Among them, Kang Soolsaeng and Cho Eunji have been working on ecological thinking for life as a key theme. Their work is linked to Gregory Bateson’s theory of ecological perception of mind and life. Kang attempts to observe life in the farming process on Jeju Island, and Cho adopts a shaman-like performance to restore the disconnected relationship between humans and non-humans. The artists have thus been building a multi-layered network of relationships between humans and nature. Their art acts are attempting a non-hierarchical connection between existing value systems, searching for concepts such as mind and life. In these artistic practices that change perceptions of nature and society, Korean Eco-Art should be understood through ecological thoughts and values that have hitherto been excluded from the discussions in the history of art.
