LIVE PERFORMANCE/ PERFORMANCE ON FILM
RESPONSE TO NAM JUNE PAIK FEATURING VIVIAN WANG
Response to Nam June Paik featuring Vivian Wang and Lasse Marhaug 2–27 Mar | City Hall Wing, Level 3 Singtel Special Exhibition Galleries Join this duo for an audio experience that seeks to explore the ephemeral nature of Paik's work. Using audio sounds from works on display, and interspersed with voices culled from interviews or from the imagined reservoirs, they seek to create an experience inspired by his robot works.
LIVE PERFORMANCE/ PERFORMANCE ON FILM
Various locations Thu–Sat | 20–23 Jan 2022 | 10am–7pm This movement draws from scores Nam June Paik wrote specifically for long-time collaborator Charlotte Moorman. Moorman and Paik's shared interest in inclusivity and engaging their audiences’ active participation, Paik’s prophetic conflations of tech and the body, including the mediation of intimacy through tech, and Paik’s signature “salt and pepper” strategy of injecting a surprise into what would otherwise be banal.
Sat–Sun | 19–20 March 2022 | 2.30pm Performance on Film. Live streaming on FB and YouTube In the third performance of this series, Melinda Lauw and Lynn Lu will be filmed performing to scores contributed by participants from the previous movement. This resulting footage, alongside documentation of participants performing scores by Nam June Paik in the Second Movement, and vignettes from the Opening Movement, to make a short film entitled Variations on a Theme of Raisins in the Audience Dough. Variations on a Theme of Raisins in the Audience Dough will draw out gestures and serendipitous occurrences that connect the two artists, their participants, and Paik and Moorman's capers across the vast expanse of time and space.
