Work of Paik Nam-June Displayed on the Wall of Seoul Square


The work of Late Paik Nam-June (1932-2006), who is considered to be the first to incorporate video in the art genres, will be featured on Media Canvas on the façade of the Seoul Square building. The show includes ‘Fashion from Suite 212,’ one of 30 ‘Suite 212’ pieces that aired in 1975 on America’s Channel 13 after the scheduled programs were over. The three-minute video clip is based on the colorization method, connecting diverse photos of the New York streets, Chinatown merchants, fashion models, cosmetic advertisement and other scenes from the Big Apple.

In addition, works of four German media artists will also go on display on Media Canvas. They include Corinna Schnitt’s work featuring repetitive handwriting of words or sentences, as well as Heike Baranowsky’s depiction of the Moon traveling all over the canvas like a searchlight.
