Nam June Paik
1932 Born in Seoul (KR) ♂ Paik studied art history at Tokyo University, where he wrote his thesis on Modernist composer Arnold Schoenberg. He went to Germany to pursue his interest in avant-garde music and performance at Ludwig-Maximilians Universitaet, Munich. There, he collaborated with such artists as Joseph Beuys and met composer John Cage, whose ideas had a tremendous influence on his work. His debut with a solo exhibition in 1963 earned him recognition as the inventor of video art. From TV Bra for Living Sculpture with cellist Charlotte Moorman in 1969 to Good Morning, Mr. Orwell, a live interactive satellite broadcast between New York and Paris in 1984, Paik was recognized as one of the most influential contemporary artists. Paik is perhaps the only artist of Korean descent who gathered constant worldwide attention and exhibited at the worlds leading museums, including the Guggenheim and Whitney museums in New York, the Guggenheim Bilbao in Spain and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. In 1996, Paik suffered a stroke which paralyzed the left side of his body and left him wheelchair-bound. But he continued to explore television sculpture, robotic devices and giant video walls -- staging the performance Hommage à John Cage as recently as autumn 2004. He won numerous awards, including Best Pavilion at the 1993 Venice Biennale. 29.1.2006 Died in Miami, Florida (US) 2006 Transmediale.06 - Smile Maschines AKADEMIE DER KÜNSTE, Berlin Frontiers - Collecting the Art of Our Time Worcester Art Museum, Worcester, MA 2005 Fluxus - Alemania 1962 1994 Museo de Arte de Lima, Lima Superstars - Das Prinzip Prominenz.
