Exhibition: 17th Dec 2010 to 13th Mar 2011

Extract/ Tate Liverpool, in collaboration with FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology) present the first major retrospective since the artist's death, and the first exhibition of Paik's work in the UK since 1988.
The exhibition celebrates Paik as the inventor of media art. At a time when television was still a novelty, Paik foresaw the future popularity of this new and exciting medium. Thought provoking works like TV Buddha (1989) explore the clashing cultures of east and west, old and new, while Video Fish (1979 - 1992) considers nature versus the man made featuring both television sets and live fish in aquariums. |
