Amusement of Visual Sense
As a member of the social groups of Nonkkol and New Exhibition, Kang Kuk-Jin exhibited Plastic Bag Emitting Colored Water in the form of a performance on the opening day of the Korean Young Artists Association Exhibition in 1967. It was exhibited three days before Incident with a Plastic Umbrella and Candlelight which was the first group effort of its kind in Korea. He attempted to “create artworks in daily life” with everyday supplies in Joy in Vision by utilizing waste materials like other Western-style works at the time. In addition, he lent urban emotion to his works through the use of neon lights and other materials. He sought after avant-garde works that could criticize civilization and reality which could not be contained on canvas through his initial performance art pieces such as Murder on the Bank of the Han River in 1968, Transparent Balloon and Nudity, and Feast with Colored Vinyl.
