다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Video Art, once considered as an alternative art medium, has become a dominant art form. As arts and cultures evolve over time, video art has also expanded its forms. The elements that compose video art have extended greatly which defines video art today. Today's conventional video art history tends to mythologize individual artists or to record individual events separately. It demonstrates how the term Video Art is over-simplified and there remains a need to offer categories or define forms. This paper discusses three video art works: Steve McQueen's ‘Deadpan’, Bill Viola's 'Heaven and Earth' and Dan Graham's 'Video Piece for Two Glass Office Buildings'. They are artworks which accentuate the spatial elements in physical exhibition space. As the role of expressive art media is enlarged, the use of space became an important factor in video art. Video art no longer exists only in the space of television monitor. The exhibition space of video art is not restricted only to the gallery space. It is now found in dedicated exhibition spaces and even in open public spaces. Emancipated from the fixed space, every space now serves as an open canvas for video artist. The scope of video art is expanding as the artists’ space usage gets diversified. Just by examining the spatial elements of video art, we can see that video art is an expanded medium of other arts. This paper reconstructs the identity of video art from the perspective of space. By exploring the language of the exhibition space, we renew the identity and the future prospects of video art.
