びびなび : 迈阿密 : (美國) Miami

The pioneering artwork of Korean-American artist Nam June Paik was a major influence on late twentieth-century art and continues to inspire the new generation of artists. On display from October 4, 2023 to August 16, 2024, The Bass presents Nam June Paik: The Miami Years, an exhibition featuring works that explore the little-known history of Paik's ties to Miami Beach and the South Florida community. Paik, a pioneer of electronic art, is credited with coining the term "electronic superhighway" and foreseeing the impact of digital media on art and society.

Organized around The Bass’ acquisition of Paik’s TV Cello, Nam June Paik: The Miami Years delves into the acclaimed artist's Miami connection along with his innovative use of communication and media technologies such as in his sculptural installations WING and MIAMI, both of which were on display at Miami International Airport in the 90s. The exhibit offers fresh insights into Paik's personal engagement with South Florida through original research that includes a timeline account of the making and display of WING and MIAMI.

The show will also feature Notations, a series of installations and performances by three contemporary artists whose practices engage with and expand on the experimental uses of technology found in Nam June Paik’s work. These installations will be unveiled throughout 2024, with the first by Aki Onda in February.
