Art:21 | Kimsooja | Season 5 Preview (October 2009)

Uploaded by art21org on Sep 17, 2009
This video is excerpted from the Season 5 episode "Systems" premiering on Wednesday, October 28, 2009 at 10pm (ET) on PBS (check local listings).
"Systems" features four artists—John Baldessari, Kimsooja, Allan McCollum, and Julie Mehretu—who invent new grammars and logics, finding comfort in some systems while rebelling against others in todays supercharged, information-based society.
Kimsooja's videos and installations blur the boundaries between aesthetics and transcendent experience through their use of repetitive actions, meditative practices, and serial forms. In many pieces, everyday actions—such as sewing or doing laundry—become two- and three-dimensional or performative activities.

I used to do "stillness meditations" in coffeehouses. I would stay motionless, letting my eyes take in as much as possible, for 15-30 minutes.
Seeing this woman standing still in the video reminded me of my meditations.
Not sure I would feel bold enough to stand still in a crowd like that though!
Very cool.
