This, my more specific and personal response, explores the effect of particular works and of the exhibition as well as my own artwriting practice and current interest in cross-media and -genre modes and forms. In particular, I want to avoid the risk I saw within the exhibition's video--of going down the rat hole of over-analysing the term 'Dansaekhwa' and its concomitant relationship (or not) with modernist monochromatic abstraction.
