ABSTRACT

This study examines the overall activities of the feminist group 30 Carat with a focus on their exhibitions, while seeking to reposition them as feminist art in the history of contemporary art in South Korea. Despite their dynamic activities and the attention they received from the contemporary art world, 30 Carat has since been largely erased from discussions of art and feminism in the 1990s. To address this problem, this study investigates the seven thematic exhibitions of 30 Carat held between 1993 and 2000. The participants put forward a variety of agendas centered on feminism, such as “femininity as self-experience,” “meta-criticism of male ideology,” “Korean tradition through the eyes of women,” “social pathology,” “environment and ecology,” and “the institution of marriage.” Based on the plurality of feminism, or “feminisms,” this study conducts feministic analyses and draws out the implications of these exhibitions, revealing from various perspectives why 30 Carat has been omitted from art history. This study finally argues that 30 Carat should be accorded its rightful place as feminist art of the 1990s.
