Nam June Park Studio

I met Hakuda Ken who is an agent and a nephew of Nam June Paik. I could have a chance to see Nam Jine's SoHo Studio at Green Street.

Oct. 2004 NamJune Paik and Hakuda Ken
In this performance, Christo who makes "The Gate" Project in Central Park right now joined this performance. At that time, Nam June Paik painted acrylic colors on Christo's clothes and Christo hugged other audiences. Then, the aerylic colors sticked other audiences' colthes. Finally, everyone had colors on their clothes.


This is the leg part of mannequine above the picture. Nam June Paik made this art work after meeting Bill Clinton at White house. When he stood up to shake hands with Bill Clinton at the White House, his pants was taken off suddenly. About this happening, many people assumed it was intentional act. But who knows? any way that time, Hakuda Ken said Bill Clinton didn't express anything, but Hillary Cliton was very angry about that. Maybe this is a related to that moment.

Edvard Munch at MOMA

I could listen his screaming in his painting. Go to MOMA and see his great paintings.... Oh, you can also see the guy mannequin which put the upper half of his body into the wall and has disgusting hairy legs.
