| Summary | |
| The Nam June Paik Art Center is pleased to present its special exhibition “TV Commune” from Thursday, the 29th of September in 2011 to Sunday, the 19th of February in 2012. With the termination of analog TV broadcasting ahead in 2012, a lot of changes are taking place in the current media environment in Korea. Keenly aware of this, “TV Commune” is going to look back on how TV has influenced our way of life and search for a new relation with it in the digital age. The exhibition will feature the historical works not only by Nam June Paik who investigated and experimented with television and art, and ways of communication using them in the late 1960s and the early 1970s > such as TVTV, Dara Birmbaum and Hyun Ki Park; the exhibition will also show but also pieces by artists living and working in the present time, including Gabriel Lester (Holland), Wong Hoy Cheong (Malaysia), Gabriel Lester, Christelle Lheureux(France), Tae Bum Ha, Heungsoon Im and Yeondoo Jung (Korea). What will be also shown in one corner of the exhibition space are works of artists who belong to ‘souvenirs from earth’ a web/cable station for film and video art in France. Inspired by Paik’s satellite projects, ‘souvenirs from earth’ serves as a platform for a new form of broadcasting which plays role of airs on its artists-only channel,reminding you of Paik’s prediction: “Someday, everyone will have his own TV channel.” |
