Presentation
Choi Boong Hyun, born in South Korea in 1941, is a Major Artist and Founder of Informal Art in South Korea and of the Zero Group called Mu. He is also a talented painter and photographer who exhibits internationally: Group Zero Exhibition 1962, Infinite Group Exhibition 1974, 1st Seoul Biennale, 1974, Masan Gallery Seoul 1975 1976, Han Kook Gallery Seoul 1979 Tribute to the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo in 2015. Choi Boong Hyun, Founder of Informal Art of South Korea is a committed artist, he was the first to organize artistic and political public performances in Seoul as early as 1967. But if the "Revolution of '68" in France was that of the spoiled children of the petty bourgeoisie, South Korea's performances were those of a courageous youth engaged in the criticism of tragic sociological, historical and political events, and artists were threatened.
The installation of Choi Boong Hyun, Stovepipe, Happening of the (Nuclear) Umbrella and Candles & Anthem of the Korean Resistance Birds, Birds, Blue Birds by Jun Bong Joon, (1894), takes place in Seoul on December 14, 1967 at 4:00 pm. This 1967 performance denounces American but also paradoxically Japanese investments when South Korea suffered martyrdom under the Japanese yoke for so many years and the resulting misery is still rife. Indeed, Japan had become rich at the expense of Korea, which it had bled dry, but triumphed with the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and the Shinkansen train, while poverty was rampant in South Korea and the country was under a military dictatorship. The artist was part of South Korea's selection for the Olympiades des Arts organized by the Galerie Lise Cormery for the French National Olympic and Sports Committee in 1991 and 1992 in Paris, on the occasion of the 1992 Olympic Winter Games. This followed the Seoul Olympics of the Arts where the city will create for this occasion a painting museum and a museum of monumental sculptures in the open air with invited artists from all over the world to exhibit and represent the art of the 20th century.
