AFTERLUDE-PRELUDE : RESPONSES TO NAM JUNE PAIK
17 to 19 Sep, 11am to 6pm
Lynn Lu and Melinda Lauw are delighted to present their new single-channel video, Raisins in the Audience Dough: First Movement, at “AFTERLUDE-PRELUDE : RESPONSES TO NAM JUNE PAIK”. This landmark event, jointly organised by the National Gallery Singapore and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMoMA), brings together unique contributions from over 20 artists around the globe, responding to and inspired by the legacy of Paik’s words and texts through performances, readings, and artistic interventions.
Inspired by Nam June Paik’s transnational art practice and experimentations in global satellite broadcast — as well as the present impact of the pandemic on remote communication — Afterlude/Prelude: Artists Respond to Nam June Paik brings together contemporary artists from around the world via webcast. Hosted by artist Julia Scher and SFMOMA Curator of Media Arts Rudolf Frieling, the multiple-hour presentation will feature over twenty artists responding to Paik’s thinking and writing through readings, performances, music, video, and more.
Audiences worldwide can tune in to the free webcast, first streamed here by SFMOMA. Bay Area audiences are invited to witness the closing segment, a piano performance of Paik’s Fluxus score DO IT YOURSELF, live onsite at SFMOMA (RSVP to attend). Once the San Francisco–based stream concludes on Friday evening, our co-organizers at the National Gallery Singapore will stream the program again from the beginning at noon Singapore Time (SGT), one day ahead.
