“Issue Fighters” is an annual project that Insa Art Space (IAS) designs as an agenda-specific program.“Tongue, Liberated!”, the project for the year 2007 focuses on ‘speech act’ as it intends to be in tandem with “sound,” which is this year’s IAS curatorial theme. Speech act refers to purposeful statement made by the speaker to induce the listener to engage oneself in particular acts and linguistic behavior. Those who featured in this project include a wide spectrum of professionals such as artists, activists, poets, performance artists, and curators engaged in the experiment of various speech act formats including conversation, speech, lecture, public reading, recital, theatrical reading and performance.
As the contemporary art practices step beyond the realm of art to meet with the public, relationship building based on dialogue and communication is surfacing as the major process of artists’ work. Dialogue, in this sense, can be understood as “speech act”—sophisticated and purposeful political act carried out in a format of everyday conversation.
