김홍희의 페미니즘/포스트모더니즘 미술사론과 이불의 역사적 위상

This study focused on Kim Hong-hee’s discoursive practice on how feminist art has been written within the history of modern and contemporary Korean art amid the historical context of transition from Minjoong Art to postmodernism. Based on her complex identity as an art historian-critic-curator-art administrator, Kim Hong-hee has played a leading role in shaping the Korean feminist art movement and its discourse since the early 1990s, and has contributed to establish the art historical status of postmodernism and feminism. Therefore, in this paper, I analyzed the way feminist art history has been described in contemporary Korea through the establishment and change of Kim Hong-hee’s discoursive practice, and also reviewed the change of the historical status of Lee Bul, who Kim Hong-hee has evaluated as a representative feminist and postmodernist artist in Korea. By doing this, I intended to trace the way feminist art and postmodernism have been combined within the history of Korean contemporary art, and to reflect on the limitations of the history of style as a diachronic history.
