Nam June Paik: Video Time, Video Space

Toni Stooss; Nam June Paik

Synopsis:
From his earliest works as a composer/performance artist in the '60s neo-Dada Fluxus movement, to his present day multi-screen television installations, Nam June Paik has always been at the forefront in employing technology to serve creative expression. Nam June Paik: Video Time--Video Space is the most comprehensive survey to date of the Korean-American artist's vital, visionary, and varied career. This volume includes curatorial comments on the exhibition which the book was published to accompany; Paik's own philosophical "Thoughts at Age Fifty-nine;" a candid evaluation of the artist's musical career; essays ranging from a reminiscence by a childhood girlfriend in Korea to a recent conversation between the artist and Davis Ross, director of the Whitney Museum of American Art; and many other insights into the remarkable Paik by a wide variety of writers.
