Nam June Paik: 10th Anniversary Retrospective

A world-famous pioneer of media art, Seoul-born Nam June Paik (1932-2006) was a true cosmopolitan, living, working and studying in Japan, Germany and the US, where he established the genre of video art and explored a stunning range of creative impulses. Perhaps the most influential artist to ever come out of Korea, Paik is remembered for unique works like a life-size robot made from old-school TV sets to portray the evolution of robotics and a statue of a sitting Buddha facing its image on a security camera screen. This extensive retrospective, which is split into two parts, includes installations, video, paintings, drawings and more – a total of 230 pieces created from the '70s to the late '90s and curated by Shinya Watanabe, a renowned Paik expert.
