| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Focusing on an alternative mode of art making since the 1960s, when the modernist medium-specificity lost its credibility and all the art genres became increasingly blurred, I mapped out some exemplary cases of art of "self-alterantion", that is, art as tuning of the body/mind/space. An underlying philosophy, I argued, can be traced in various ancient (premodern), and often nonwestern, ideas on bio-cosmic energy and views of nature. Among the points discussed and searched in my studies, the followings are especially worth noting; (1) I pointed out how the socially marginalized subjects such as old people, children, etc., could suggest basic conditions of the dancing body, while dance may serve as a paradigmatic case for art of self-alteration. (2) the "energetic art," a category emerging with de-materialization of art objects, could be useful to bridge some ancient ideas and contemporary art practices.
