AB - This article explores the aesthetic dimension of contemporary South Korean urbanism by reading suspended judgment and formal analysis, which could generate a new way of seeing the city. Suspended judgment means ways of relating oneself to given situations without being preoccupied with prior knowledge or conventions, thereby prompting an openness towards the external world. With the claim that such a concept is crucial in rereading the historiographies of 20th-century architecture and urbanism, this paper aims to conduct the following. The first is to critically review Aron Vinegar’s I am a Monument: On Learning from Las Vegas (2008), which entails an in-depth analysis of Learning from Las Vegas (1972), the classic text on postmodern architecture. And, the second is to expand Vinegar’s book in the context of Korean urbanism to conduct a case study on Choi Jeong Hwa’s 2006 installation entitled Anybody, Anything, Anyway. It is a work the artist installed a number of discarded commercial banners in the Arco Art Center (1979) designed by Kim Swoo-geun. This article claims that, despite the authenticity inherent in Kim’s architectural work, the installation prompts an urban atmosphere that is at once familiar and idiosyncratic in positive senses. It also brings forth a sense of community that is fragmentary and ephemeral, as well as one that mediates given aesthetic criteria and thus releases an assemblage in which both private affects and public discourses coexist.
