박박parkpark은 공연예술 프로젝트팀으로 전통예술의 탈식민을 고민하고, 콘텐츠의 맥락과 무관하게 수행되는 기존 체제 안의 공연 양식에 질문을 던진다. 관습적인 것들을 의심하고 질문을 공유함으로써 다른 의문들을 파생하는 것으로, 어쩌면 이 프로젝트팀이 지향하는 것은 질문 그 자체이다.
박민희가 제안하는 컨셉에서 출발하는 박박parkpark의 프로젝트는 친구들과의 협력, 그리고 관람의 관계 맺기를 통해 완성된다.
주로 함께하는 작업자는 강문식(그래픽디자인), 안마노(그래픽디자인/영상), 윤재원(영상/사진/퍼포먼스), 이경후(번역/프로젝트매니저), 이기쁨(노래), 이재은(움직임/안무), 정언진(움직임/안무), 최미연(영상) 등으로 느슨하면서도 유기적인 관계를 맺고 있다.
대표작으로는 ‘가곡하기’의 태도를 찾아가는 <가곡실격: 나흘 밤>, <가곡실격: 방5↻>이 있다.
박박parkpark is a performing arts project group which explores the post-colonial approach in dealing with traditional art and questions the customary forms of performance.
박박parkpark’s projects start from the concepts proposed by PARK Minhee, who has been collecting *Gagok with her body as the medium. They are built through her collaboration with friends and complete when the relation between the content and audience is established.
Her frequent collaborators -who are connected loosely yet organically- are: GANG Moonsick(graphic design), AHN Mano(video/graphic design), Kathy Kyunghoo LEE(translation/project manager), LEE Kipum(voice), LEE Jeun(movement/choreography), JEONG Eonjin(movement/choreography), YUN Jaewon(art works) and CHOI Miyeon(video).
박박parkpark’s major works include <No longer Gagok: four nights> and <No longer Gagok: room5↻> which look for a point of view to 'do Gagok.’
No Longer Gagok is 박박parkpark's Gagok project that modifies an esthetic research into a language of physicality(voice and movement) and space. It dissolves Gagok from various angles and transforms it into the visual and auditory, letting the audience complete the work by experiencing, rather than watching, the work.
*Gagok: Classical Korean vocal music using odes as its lyrics. It was popular in salons of the 18th century and believed to originate from around the 15th century. Embedded with the locality of the city of Seoul in the past, it is a very structured art form that it is mainly known for its 'formal beauty.'
