The
Korea National Research Center for the Arts Streams Spring Conference Online
The Korea National
Research Center for the Arts (KNRCA) affiliated to the K-Arts live-streamed its
2020 spring conference on “Arts and Arts Industry in the Post Corona Era” held
on June online.
During the first half of
the conference, the experts in the fields of music, drama, and visual arts
including professor Lee Seung-gon (Department of Theatre Studies at School of
Drama) had discussions on changes in arts after the COVID-19 outbreak and the
consequent prospects. In the latter half, the professionals in the industries
of film, theater, and visual arts examined the data on situations of art
industries before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Chief professor Yang Jung
Moo (Department of Design at School of Visual Arts) stated, “The trends in
creating, planning, enjoying, and consuming arts have been changed since the COVID-19
pandemic. The social distancing measure has resulted in the emergence of an
untact consuming market everywhere, which also either directly or indirectly
influenced the arts industries. Overcoming the crisis of arts and arts
industries must start from thinking over how we can cope arts with digital-based
environments and services and harmonize arts with the society and preventive
measures against the pandemic. I look for us, all together, will seek for
turning crisis into opportunity at this conference.”
