Video Art Featurette plus Bonus Art Video, #1 Video Artist and DVD bonuses
by Skip Blumberg & 63 collaborators
³A mistake is not a mistake.² ³The only way to win a race is to run alone.²
³If you want to do it, you can do it.² ~ Nam June Paik
NYC's art community remembers the fun-loving and wise #1 video artist.
The Video Art Featurette ³Nam June Paik: Lessons from the Video Master²
(47:15), recorded at the famed artist's memorial service, contains 46 short
visually-stylized often-humorous insightful interviews with friends,
colleagues, collaborators and protégés; including artists Yoko Ono, Merce
Cunningham, Carolee Schneeman, Davidson Gigliotti (Videofreex), Beryl Korot,
Liz Phillips, Bill Viola, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Blondell Cummings, Kit
Fitzgerald, and, of course, Shigeko Kubota; curators John Hanhardt
(Guggenheim Museum), Wulf Herzogenrath (Kunsthalle Bremen), Barbara London
and Sally Berger (MoMA); as well as NJP¹s nephew Ken Paik Hakuta. And many
more.
³Bonus Art Video² (36:50), contains 17 additional interviews including video
artists Mary Lucier, Dara Birnbaum, David Cort (Videofreex), Ralph Hocking
(Experimental TV Center), Ira Schneider (Raindance/Radical Software), the
first video art curator David Ross, and independent film pioneer Jonas
Mekas, as well as a video-within-a-video of Yoko Ono¹s special performance
for NJP at the Guggenheim Museum.
³#1 Video Artist² is a G-rated 9-minute edit of the Featurette especially
edited for middle and high school students.
Nam June Paik¹s work broke the rules of art, television, graphics, and,
because TV can use all possible media and information, practically
everything else, too.
Fast-moving and entertaining for all audiences, the new DVD is also an
excellent learning tool and research source for media artists, art
historians and students as well as an encyclopedia of special effects,
filters, colorizing, transitions, handheld camera, interviewing and titling
techniques.
The DVD is produced by NJP¹s friend and colleague, Skip Blumberg, himself
one of the first generation of video artists and an award-winning
documentary videomaker. His videos are distributed by EAI.org, VDB.org and
the Museum of Modern Art.
Made possible with public funds from the NYS Council on the Arts, a State
Agency, and support from the Experimental TV Center.
