Internationally renowned artist Nam June Paik played a pivotal role in introducing artists and audiences to the possibilities of using video for artistic expression. The Korean-born artist’s first video sculptures, using TV sets as sculptural forms and a custom-made synthesizer to create images seen on the screens, were exhibited in the early ‘60s. This exhibition highlights works done toward the end of his life, including the rarely seen work “Gulliver” (2001).
