Research, production, exhibition: The ZKM dedicates itself to contemporary developments within art and society in all media formats and systems.

Nam June Paik has continued to electrify the art world ever since his 1963 debut of television experiments in Exposition of Music – Electronic Television, his first solo exhibition. Paik challenged visitors to participate by activating modified TV sets and playing radically transformed instruments—blurring the distinction between performer and audience.

The Art Gallery of New South Wales' fascinating presentation of acclaimed multi-media artist Nam June Paik coincides with a major installation of the artist's work on the forecourt of the Sydney Opera House as part of Sydney Festival 2003.

Features contemporary art, painting, sculpture, video, installations, photography and editions by established and emerging American and international artists.

Description The exhibition includes 67 artworks and more than 140 items from the Archive. Several rare artworks borrowed from private and public collections in the United States and abroad, including TV Garden (1974/2000) from the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Whitney Buddha Complex (1982) from the Hessel Museum of Art at Bard College, and Paik’s rarely seen installation Moon Projection with E Moon and Birds (1996), on loan from the Paik Estate, are featured. Three exceptional artworks from the museum’s collection will be included: Zen for TV (1963/1976), Megatron/Matrix (1995), and Electronic Superhighway: Continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii (1995). In addition to objects from the archive, a number of artworks in the exhibition are on public display for the first time including; Electronic Schematic Drawing for Paik-Abe Video Synthesizer (1969), Number 5 (1975), Untitled (Television) (about 1970), Cage TV Sketch (about 1970), Untitled (Purple and Yellow Face) (about 1970), Untitled (Television and Moon) (1978), a selection of eighteen Untitled (Newspaper Drawings) (1990s), and Chinese Memory (2005). Nam June Paik: Global Visionary offers the extraordinary range of the artist’s accomplishments and the complexity of his ideas. It features his personal history through thematic groupings that draw on the resources of the Nam June Paik Archive. Paik’s writings and the materials he collected reveal the influences of Asian and Western philosophy, as well as developments in technology and science. The museum will use these materials to show the development of his innovative and radical conceptualization of the future roles of communication technologies in the expanding global media culture. John G. Hanhardt, senior curator of film and media arts and the leading expert on Paik and his global influence, is organizing the exhibition with the assistance of Michael Mansfield, associate curator of film and media arts.
