Anyone working with film and/or video in the last fifty years likely owes much to Nam June Paik, and is also likely to know it. Who among us has not come face to face with "TV Cello" or "Global Groove" and been rendered speechless.

Don’t miss the chance to see this new show of the late artist’s work at Andrewshire Gallery, LA this month. From the press release:

"Nam June Paik died on January 29, 2006.  His presence lingers in the surprising array of ideas and artworks he left behind.  These works signal the contribution the artist made to contemporary art and culture.  Paik’s often whimsical compositions, video-objects and installations are studied portraits wherein the artist himself seems to look out across the distance from the work to a point inside each of us. These artworks, already held in preservation, are perpetually connected to us while appearing suspended in time due to their vintage look.  They serve as elucidations in which the artist and his countless viewers are portrayed and linked even as their mutual search for meaning is in flight.  In his absence, Paik somehow still lives out the revelations he experienced in the bounds of the work which endlessly reproduces his era and his vision."
