Lee Seung-taek
Lee Seung-taek (born 12 May 1932 in Kowon, Korea), is a Korean interdisciplinary artist—a trained sculptor, an installation artist, and a performance artist—conceptualizing in the notion of "anti-concept" or "anti-art" in the Korean art scene. As one of the first generation pioneers of experimental art in Korea, Lee is known for his "non-sculptural" artworks that include "display of pieces in stone, rope and newsprint." Lee mainly worked independently and created works that deviated from the dominant artistic concepts in Korea. "Unfettered by the demands of crude nationalism or from chasing the so-called international art world," Lee's work came to be seen as "starting point for a different kind of avant-garde lineage." He has strived to investigate new ways of creating art by experimenting with non-material objects. In 2009, Lee was the first recipient to be awarded Nam June Paik Art Center Prize.
== Career ==
Born in Kowon, Hamgyeong Province in North Korea, Seung-taek Lee has had a wide range of interest since childhood.〔 He used his talent for art to escape from North Korea during the Korean War.〔 He made a living by drawing portraits for American soldiers during and after the Korean War. As a student, Lee became fascinated by Nietzsche's philosophy, which led him to pursue experimental art of the metaphysical. With his ambition to "leave a footprint as an artist in Korean modern art history", he decided to become an artist of his own world by thinking inversely about the world and freely expressing himself and his ideas.〔
According to the art critic Oh Sang-ghil, Lee was downgraded to a non-mainstream level in the Korean modern art world, since most artists and art critics "unwaveringly followed western art trends and believed that it was the only way to survive".〔 Lee considered that those artists and critics were unaware of their own identity and began to experiment with trials and errors of imitation in order to understand the true nature of Korean modern art. He was often regarded as a "heretical and rebellious character" amongst the artists and critics in Korea; however, he continued his journey of pursuing his own art in a then-conventionalized world of Korean art. Beginning with his non-figurative installation art, ''History and Time'', at the 1958 Undergraduate Exhibition for the Department of Sculpture at Hongik University, he departed from the conventions of the Korean modern art. While at an exhibition to receive the Nam June Paik Art Center International Art Award, the chief curator of the Nam June Paik Art Center, Tobias Berger, mentioned that "Seung-taek Lee's artwork surpasses the main centers of traditional western modern art history".〔
In 2008, Lee was Adviser of Korea Performance Art Spirit (KoPAS). In 1988, he served as Vice-president of Korean Fine Arts Association, and has worked as its Adviser since 1989. He became Representative Commissioner of various committees, such as Recycling through Art of National Theater of Korea in 2007, Le Biennale di Venezia in 1990, and the Exchange Exhibition of Modern Art between Korea and Japan in 1985. From 1970 to 1987, he lectured on modern art history in University of Seoul and Graduate School for nine years and in Mokwon University and Graduate School for nine years.
