Abstract

The artistic activities of art museums in the 21st century are turning toward emphasizing the active participation of museumgoers beyond the dual structure of ‘creation-enjoyment’. Reflecting this trend, in 2020, the SEMA Nam-Seoul Museum of Art planned an exhibition, entitled “Never Ever Artistic, Sloppy Museum,” to bolster the active participation of art fans in the non-face-to-face era. The author was invited as an exhibition artist and presented an art prototype project, “Tea Room:2020,” at the exhibition. The purpose of this study is to envision a ‘superposition model of art creation-enjoyment’ in the non-face-to-face period, the experiment “Tea Room:2020” based on the model, and to discuss its meaning. In this way, the study seeks new relationships, the communication and union of creation and appreciation, and examines the significance of these concepts. To this end, the author proposed ‘Yemundap’, a circular, iterative, and discontinuous communication method into which a tea ceremony and Zen riddles were transformed. ‘Yemundap’ also combines drawing and augmented reality to superpose art creation and enjoyment. To realize this, heuristics were applied when implementing “Tea Room:2020.” In this work, the creator and art fans share artistic dialogues while communicating by drawing messages that are contained in paper cups and combined with augmented reality. Here, the roles of the creator and the art fan are overlapped and reversed, and they create a collaborative creation. This project has emotional significance in that the art fans immerse themselves in the creation and exploration of works by a waiting period created by the discontinuous communication of ‘Yemundap’, experiencing the sense of normalcy that existed before the COVID19 pandemic. Nonetheless, in order to generalize the superposition model of ‘Yemundap’, it is necessary to improve its complex process and to reduce its excessive performative methods.
