University of California Press, 2002]\n<p>Yen Noh\u2019s long-term research project<em> Can We Talk About MAVO?<\/em> (2016-), which takes various forms and iterations, aims to rethink the Japanese art group MAVO (1923-1926) in relation to the historical avant-garde and contemporary catastrophe. Located in the precarious line between appropriating Western modernism aesthetic in the current of internationalism and performing socially and politically significant actions against conventional forms of art production in the particular condition of the post-earthquake in Japan, MAVO\u2019s role in Japanese art history has been a challenge to look into.<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Im\/possible Avant-garde: Can We Talk About MAVO?<\/em>, which will be carried out during the residency, questions dominant discourses of a comparatist view that enacts the West as a boundary that does not exist prior to comparison. The im\/possibility of non-Western avant-gardes has been debated in those terms, whose lack of \u201coriginality\u201d is determined by a \u201cuniversal\u201d historical avant-garde centered in a particular geographical and racial ideology. Looking into MAVO\u2019s \u201cbarrack project\u201d carried out in the wake of the calamity of the 1923 Great Kanto earthquake via the angle of Korean poet and architect Yi Sang (1910-1937) during the Japanese colonization of Korea (1910-1945), it aims to invoke the following questions: to what extent is the \u201coriginality\u201d of the avant-garde located in the specific condition of modernity, that is of colonization? What emerges when the comparative gaze is displaced by a gaze that reverses the colonial invention and intervention of the Western modernism aesthetic?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yen Noh<\/strong> (Daegu, 1983) studied at Dutch Art Institute and the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. Her work investigates intimate histories of trauma, upheaval, and freedom during the Japanese colonisation of Korea, unearthing and recreating radical practices of everyday anarchy by those whose history is overlooked and unthought by an imperial\/national project. She currently researches the Korean poet and architect Yi Sang and the Japanese art group MAVO as challenging comparatist histories that present non-Western avant-gardes as particular, local and derivative versions of a \u201cuniversal\u201d historical avant-garde originating from the West.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yen Noh will be opening her residency at Bulegoa z\/b with a presentation.
