Barbara London and the artist group LoVid (Tali Hinkis and
Kyle Lapidus) show how art practice has come to defy categorization in the
context of our exhibition Revisions: Zen for Film. London reveals artist
Nam June Paik’s early cross-platform dematerialized art activities that
converged music, visual art, performance, and the electronic image. LoVid
focuses on the process of decay and obsolescence in light of development of
technology and within the process of artistic practice. Gain a clearer
understanding of how Paik’s technical, conceptual, and aesthetic brilliance
inspire later artists who made these issues central to their work.
