Nam June Paik
(Delmonico / Prestel) Hardcover book $20.00
The book breaks down Paik’s work from throughout his five-decade career into four broad sections: post music; TV manipulations; collaboration as method; transnational trajectory and transcultural contexts. Robots made from old TV screens. Stills from video works. Views of room-sized installations. Archival materials and excerpts of Paik’s own writings. His exchanges with avant-garde artists, musicians, and choreographers, including Charlotte Moorman, John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Joseph Beuys, and members of Fluxus influenced a global network of artists and pioneered a radical and cutting-edge art practice. Essays by David Toop, Andrea Nitsche-Krupp, Grace Deveney, Susanne Neuberger, Valentina Ravagllia, Rachel Jans, Leontine Coelewij. 176pp
