Hangul Day Eve Festival:
Before Writing, After Speaking
Before Writing, After Speaking
OCT 8, TUE
7:30 pm–9:00 pm
7:30 pm–9:00 pm
The Typojanchi 2013 Hangul Day Eve Festival, “Before Writing, After Speaking” is a multidisciplinary performance program to celebrate the night before Hangul was born. Sans-serifs and sans-scripts but with a lot of light, voices and Ping-Pong balls, the program presents performance works that do not directly speak of letters but use vision and sound—the surfaces of writing and language—as a medium. Without relying on technological means such as a beamer or sound system, the program attempts to maximize the primordial sensuality that each work is meant to invoke.

L’Anticoncept
The French poet and filmmaker Gil J. Wolman (1929–1995) was a main member of the Letterist International, a precursor to the Situationist International. His most well-known work, L’Anticoncept (1952) consisted of blank illumination projected through a hole punched directly on a film and onto a balloon, accompanied by a spoken soundtrack by Wolman himself. The film artist Lee Hangjun and the poet Kim Tae-yong translate the work into Korean and perform it in the space.

Bounce.Befall
Bounce.Befall is part of a conceptual sound/music performance series created in 2011 by the experimental composer Choi Joonyong. On top of two structures in a space, two performers drop Ping-Pong balls at predetermined intervals. The performance ends when the last ball stops bouncing—or when the audience stops returning the balls. The work attempts to provide direct and vivid sonic experience through an ordinary technique, questioning the supposed superiority of processed and abstract music and the notion of valuable sound.
