Artist Statement 또는 Artist’s Statement (아티스트 스테이트먼트)란 작품에 대한 이해를 돕기 위해 작가의 영감, 아이디어 및 작품 세계를 서술한 글이다. Artist Statement는 미국의 미술대학 및 미술계를 중심으로 1990년대부터 활발하게 쓰이기 시작했다. Artist Statement는 난해하고 개념적인 현대미술을 접근하기 위한 실용적인 “도구”이다. Artist Statement가 오히려 작품의 감상을 일정한 방향으로 국한할 수 있으며 작가의 자유로운 표현 방식을 저해한다는 비판적인 의견도 있지만, 제한된 2-4 문단의 글로 작가의 세계를 그려내는 한편의 시와도 같다는 점에서 작품 자체와 별개의 또 다른 매력이 있다.

Digital media seem to lack physicality, of which we think as “texture.” As new media art evolves with digital technology, I recently have noticed “new textures” in them – glitches, pixelation, and virtual textures, which happen intentionally or unexpectedly. Eeriness of these new textures reminds me of the “uncanny valley” that resembles humans but is not humans anymore. New textures emerge in the middle of technological intervention and interaction. And these residues of mathematical calculations and errors form new aesthetics, stories, contexts, and realities.
New Texture: New Media Art 2019 features 36 new media artists worldwide, including Pierre Ajavon, Alessandro Avellis, Michael Black, Tom Burtonwood, Tristan Cai, Jade Chorkularb, Lacaste Eunice, Yuto Hasebe, Chih-ya Huang, Soa J. Hwang, Tian Jiang, Lara Kamhi, KairUs Art+Research, Ji Yong Kim, Mihyun Kim, Todd Kunkler, Heesoo Kwon, Jiaqing Mo, Christina Ivelisse Morris, Hannah Newman, Fongyee Ng, Min Park, Miock Park, Valentina Sciarra, Simon Šerc, Peim van der Sloot, Tamara Staser, Yuanliang Sun, Tore Terrasi, Cansu Topaloglu, Yang Wang, Rachel Lin Weaver, Jinjoo Yang, Kyungjin Yoo, and Lim Zeherng. I hope our readers find new textures in them reflecting their own realities across the globe.

CICA Press, an online and print media issued by CICA Museum, is media for art and culture from the perspective of young culture makers in spirit. CICA Press supports “young” culture makers, who have passion, critical thought, and desire for creative and experimental expression, regardless of their age and background. We have believed that our inexhaustible passion for art and expression and a reckless rebelliousness can change the world.
CICA Press deals with visual art and culture from perspectives of local artists. To overcome uniform dissemination of contemporary art from the “center of Art,” we aim to introduce local artists and cultures from different regions to global audiences and connect them with each other. CICA Press provides online and offline spaces to create a global network among local artists, designers, audiences, and communities so they can make, appreciate, and live in art in their regions and cultures.
