We are pleased to announce the screening of NAM JUNE PAIK: MOON IS THE OLDEST TV (2023), a film by Amanda Kim and narrated by Steven Yeun. As part of The Living Room 2.0: Intimate Entanglements, we have partnered up with Films We Like to present a screening of the documentary of acclaimed artist Nam June Paik at our gallery space.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a synopsis, courtesy of Greenwich Entertainment:<\/span><\/p>\n

The George Washington of Video Art\u201d … \u201cCultural Terrorist\u201d … \u201cCitizen Zero of the Electronic <\/em><\/span>Superhighway\u201d … But who really was Nam June Paik, pillar of the American avant-garde in the <\/span>20th century and arguably the most famous Korean artist in modern history? Director Amanda <\/span>Kim tells, for the first time, the story of Paik\u2019s meteoric rise in the New York art scene and his <\/span>Nostradamus-like visions of a future in which \u201ceverybody will have his own TV channel.\u201d Thanks <\/span>to social media, Paik\u2019s future is now our present, and NAM JUNE PAIK: MOON IS THE <\/span>OLDEST TV shows us how we got here.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Amanda Kim\u2019s documentary charts Paik\u2019s artistic evolution by tracing his formative education in <\/span>Munich and his life-changing encounter with avant-garde musician John Cage, through his <\/span>immigration to New York City and collaboration with the seminal experimental Fluxus <\/span>movement, into his revolutionary work with video art\u2014including his radical public television <\/span>broadcasts of \u201cGlobal Groove\u201d in 1973 and \u201cGood Morning, Mr. Orwell” in 1984\u2014and beyond <\/span>into Paik\u2019s lasting influence on the art world and his predictions of our technological future.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Featuring an extensive archive of performance footage, original interviews from Paik\u2019s contemporaries and collaborators, and a voiceover narration of Nam June Paik\u2019s writings read <\/span>by Executive Producer Steven Yeun (Minari, Nope), NAM JUNE PAIK: MOON IS THE OLDEST <\/span>TV is a timely meditation on the contradictory ways in which technology elicits both fascist <\/span>tendencies and intercultural understanding.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
