¸ÅÁ¡ £Û£ë£ï£õ£ò¢¥£é:¡Ó£Ý ÇÑ±¹ = cultural exchange as translated from English to Korean through a translation site.

What is really interesting about this impossibility is that another production is made like that. A doubling takes place within this translation from one “pallet” to the other. Different interpretations, links and space are opened.
Some years ago I made a work in a neighbourhood in Den Bosch (NL) The art space that invited me to make a work had the explicit wish (that was driven by the local politicians) to make a work for the neighbourhood surrounding the art space. In the letter that I received explaining their point of view they wrote that they wanted to embrace the neighbourhood, were curious who was living there etc. etc. None of that was really true; they needed to show the local politicians that they were doing something for the locals (as well). I was free in my choice of what I would do there. I decided to have coffee with a lot of inhabitants and while doing so I recorded stories and anecdotes on video as they were circling around in the common memory about this area. After ten days I had a collection of stories and started having doubled or sometimes numerous versions of one story. I decided to use those layers of information and interpretation to ‘corrupt’ these anecdotes. Together with several people that I met in the neighbourhood I wrote new versions, sometimes subtle, sometimes very grotesque to add to this pool of stories. The new versions were recorded (told by the locals) and later screened in the local cultural-centre amongst all the “true” versions.
I can image that this re-telling, interpretation, would be interesting for me to work with in Seoul. It is also a universal thing. All artists I know are dealing with this.
Another work that I recalled, while reading the Monsoon-statement once more, was a work I did when I just moved to Antwerp. I didn’t know the city that well, so I usually went a lot outside to have long walks through the city. After a while I started to get to know the place and thought of (Dérive-kind) of things to do. I (for example) followed a person with a hat, a blue jacket etc. Later, I tried to memorize the gestures and moves that that person had made and in order to remember these details I took a small dictaphone in my pocket. I would follow a person and describe his or her movements and actions. These recorded descriptions functioned later as a manual for movement through a town. I would apply this to the same and other places (the recorded voice gave me directions) and would listen (and walk) sometimes weeks after I recorded it. Some friends walked my tapes. I can imagine that it would be great to apply a very simple method like this in Monsoon. One records a drift and gives it to another that translates the tape in a different way.

Five images googled under the keyword: cultural exchange

Well that’s all for now, I have to start running to the train. Hope you’ll have a good weekend, if something comes to my mind I’ll let you know… All the best, Paul
