SELF DYNASTY

As young children, the Queen and the General first met outside the impenetrable walls of the imperial castle. The Queen demanded that her guards kill the many pigeons that nested atop the walls, but because the walls were so high, the guards could not reach the pigeons. The clever General, who came from a family of beggars, fed the pigeons grains of fortune-rice, which caused the pigeons’ stomachs to explode. The Queen, who had always been fascinated by death and carnage, immediately realized that she had found her perfect partner for life, her soul-mate.

They were both 7 years old when the Queen had the General’s family killed and brought him to the castle, where he was educated in all matters of combat and warfare. By the time he reached his adolescence, he had already become by far the greatest warrior in all the empire, and thus became the general of the Queen’s army. He cut off the heads of 444 warlords, and conquered the entire eastern hemisphere. He cared for the Queen, and followed each and every one of her orders without question. When the Queen ordered him to find the rulers of peaceful neighboring kingdoms and to pluck out one of each one’s eyes, he complied. Despite his violent profession, the General would go home to his wife and children, and would forget about the killings.

During her 89th year of reign, people began to say that the Queen’s mind had become infected by demons. The extreme selfishness of her goals grew more apparent to the General, and for the first time, he hesitated upon hearing her orders. Still, he followed the Queen’s wishes to ride a Pegasus into space and destroy all the planets, moons, and stars that were visible from the Earth. She had developed sleeping problems, and said that the lights in the sky bothered her at night. And so according to her wishes, the skies became starless. Upon returning, the Queen was disgusted by the appearance of the Pegasus. In fact, the Pegasus was not entirely visible to the human eye, and could only be perceived as blurs of color and light. When she demanded that the General cut off the wings of the Pegasus, he replied, “But the Pegasus has no wings.”

The Queen grew increasingly suspicious of those around her, and began to fear that a conspiracy was being planned. The General wasn’t afraid of the Queen, but the Queen was afraid of him. Her paranoia affected her perception of the general, as he no longer appeared human to her. Through her eyes, he took on the form of a large beast with golden fur and a hideous face which appeared drawn and anxious. She locked herself inside her castle, and never came out. She sent her three sons, who had been trained as royal assassins to the General’s house to kill him. But the General killed them, and fled the kingdom, while the Queen issued a decree of the General’s banishment. From inside her castle, she would peer out from behind the walls in fear, knowing that the General was very well capable of killing her and her entire army. Wandering in the wilderness, the General would gaze sadly upon the walls of the kingdom, hoping that the Queen would forgive him.

The General would continually circle the entire kingdom, killing any armies which might attempt to invade. He did this half out of boredom, and half out of the hope that the Queen might appreciate his efforts and forgive him. After 149 years passed, the General became a part of the wilderness, turning into stone. Realizing this, the Queen finally left her castle, went out into the wilderness and smashed the stone General into dust. When news of the General’s death had spread, the Queen’s kingdom was invaded and conquered by her enemies.

CREAM (CASH RULES EVERYTHING AROUND ME)

CASPER KANG SOLO EXHIBITION
캐스퍼 강 개인전

FEBRUARY 18TH, 2010 – MARCH 11TH, 2010
OPENING RECEPTION FEBRUARY 18TH, 2010 6:OO PM

GALLERY CHA

캐나다 교포로 현재 한국에서 활동하는 신진작가 캐스퍼 강은 이번 개인전 CREAM (Cash Rules Everything Around Me) 전에서 현대 자본주의 사회에서 필수 불가결한 돈에 관해 몇 가지 질문을 던집니다. 작가는 돈의 의미와 힘 그리고 그 필요성에 대해 의문점을 제기하며 그의 작품 속에서 이에 대한 해답을 찾기를 종용합니다. 그는 이 시대의 가장 강력한 권력인 자본을 숭상하는 시대적 분위기를 그만의 독특한 화법을 통해 작품에서 비틀어 표현하고 있습니다.

캐스퍼 강의 이번 전시는 대한민국 지폐에 등장하는 인물들인 이황, 세종대왕 그리고 신사임당의 초상을 차용하여 캔버스에 옮겨 그린 작품들로 이루어집니다. 돈의 무늬를 배경 삼아 작가의 세밀한 붓 터치와 정교한 실크스크린 기법을 혼용하여 현대적인 감각으로 재탄생한 선조들은 전시장에서 관람객과 마주합니다. 작가는 또한 자신의 사인이자 사회적으로 특별함의 의미로 통용되는 별표 연작을 제작했습니다. 전시장에 함께 전시된 돈을 의미하는 선조들의 초상과 특별함을 의미하는 별표 연작은 관람객에게 돈이 당신에게 특별한 존재냐고 묻습니다.
