Nam June Paik

South Korean video and performance artist, sculptor, and filmmaker

Nam June Paik: Art in Process by John Hanhardt (Text by); Gregory Zinman (Text by) This book reflects on Nam June Paik's working method as well as the ideas and materials that inspired his art practice. It was published on the occasion of a two-part exhibition at Gagosian, New York, curated by John G. Hanhardt, one of the foremost scholars of Paik's work. "Nam June Paik: Art in Process" highlights the centrality of process and exploration across Paik's career--through his pioneering manipulated televisions from the early 1960s to live global satellite telecasts, large-scale video sculptures, drawings, and the late-style painted TVs--and provides an opportunity to follow Paik's lifelong engagement with new media and the development of his own singular visual language.

Nam June Paik by Sook-Kyung Lee; Rudolf Frieling; David Toop (Contribution by); Rachel Jans (Contribution by); Susanne Neuburger (Contribution by) This book features works from throughout Nam June Paik's five-decade career--from robots made from old TV screens to stills from his innovative video works and views of his renowned room-sized installations. Archival materials and excerpts of Paik's own writings offer a deeper understanding of the artist's extraordinary collaborative career. Essays explore how Paik influenced a global network of artists and pioneered a radical and cutting-edge art practice. They also consider how Paik's transnational approach to art presaged today's issues around borders, immigration, cultural appropriation, and nationalism.

Paik's Virtual Archive by Hanna B. Holling In "Paik's Virtual Archive," Hanna B. Hölling contemplates the identity of multimedia artworks by reconsidering the role of conservation in our understanding of what the artwork is and how it functions within and beyond a specific historical moment. In Hölling's discussion of works by Nam June Paik (1932-2006), the hugely influential Korean American artist who is considered the progenitor of video art, she explores the relation between the artworks' concept and material, theories of musical performance and performativity, and the Bergsonian concept of duration, as well as the parts these elements play in the conceptualization of multimedia artworks. Ultimately, she proposes that the archive--the physical and virtual realm that encompasses all that is known about an artwork--is the foundation for the identity and continuity of every work of art.
