[백남준] 호형호제하는 보이스, 어떻게 예술무당 되었나

요셉 보이스는 어떻게 '무당 예술가(shaman-artist 현대미술의 무당)'가 되었나?

독일의 전후 예술가인 Joseph Beuys는 고대 샤머니즘 관습과의 연관성으로 오랫동안 명성을 이어왔다. 그의 경력 전반에 걸쳐 그는 자연, 동물, 인간의 원시 과거 및 보이지 않는 영적 세계와 깊이 연결된 수수께끼의 무당 인물로서 대중적 인물로 기성화되었다. 그는 이상한 공연, 의식, 교육 관행을 통해 이러한 주제를 자신의 예술에 통합하여 "현대 미술 의 무당"이라는 별명을 얻었다. 우리는 제2차 세계대전의 참상 이후 예술을 통해 치유, 변화, 재생 의 메시지를 장려했던 보이스가 채택한 샤머니즘의 핵심 주제를 살펴보자 https://www.thecollector.com/how-joseph-beuys-become-shaman-of-modern-art/

German post-war artist Joseph Beuys has a long-standing reputation for his connection to the ancient practice of Shamanism. Throughout his career he cultivated a public persona as an enigmatic shaman figure, deeply connected to nature, animals, man’s primitive past, and the unseen spiritual world.

 

He integrated these themes into his art through strange performances, rituals, and teaching practices, earning a moniker as “the Shaman of Modern Art.” We look through the key themes of Shamanism that Beuys adopted, which encouraged a message of healing, transformation and regeneration through art after the horrors of World War II. 

 

 

He Wanted to Heal and Transform Society Through Art (그는 예술을 통해 사회를 치유하고 변화시키고 싶어 했다). 아래 첫 작품 20세기의 종말 (The end of the twentieth century joseph beuys / The End of the Twentieth Century by Joseph Beuys, 1983-85, via Tate, London)
Beuys connected deeply with how a shaman figure could encourage healing, regeneration and transformation. These themes were particularly potent to Beuys in the wake of World War II, when a deeply wounded society needed to heal and mend itself. He integrated these healing aspects of Shamanism into many of his most profound works of art, which opened up room for spiritual contemplation and conveyed a message of hope and optimism for a new world.
