  Preserving Nam June Paik’s Video Installations: the Importance of
  the Artist’s Voice

  A free lunch-time session of the College Art Association (CAA) 2007
  annual conference in New York, to take place at:

  Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
  Celeste Bartos Theater
  Entrance: 4 West 54th Street
  New York NY
  February 16, 2007
  12:30-2pm

  The International Network for the Conservation of Contemporary Art –
  North America (INCCA-NA), together with the Museum of Modern Art
  (MoMA), the American Institute of Conservation (AIC), and the Getty
  Conservation Institute (GCI), will present “Preserving Nam June
  Paik’s Video Installations: the Importance of the Artist’s Voice,” a
  panel discussion on the conservation of Paik’s time-based media
  work.

  Nam June Paik (1932 – 2006) was a South Korean-born American artist
  internationally recognized as a pioneer of video art and known for
  his active participation with curators in re-installing and
  technically upgrading his works. His recent death has had a major
  impact on how his works will be viewed and installed in the future.

  This panel will explore what happens when there is an absence of the
  artist’s voice and will address two primary concerns: the loss of
  visual components as certain technologies become obsolete, and the
  loss of conceptual components when there is no definitive roadmap of
  the artist’s intent to guide future curators. This event will
  feature presentations by a conservator, curator, and Paik’s
  assistant with the goal of examining best practices for documenting
  and archiving time-based media. The featured panelists will bring a
  combined expertise and insight into Paik’s working method to provide
  a unique opportunity to closely examine the roles an artist plays in
  the long-term preservation of their work and the options available
  to contemporary conservators.

  Presenters and their topics will include the following:

  Rudolf Frieling, Curator of Media Arts at the San Francisco
  Museum of Modern Art, will present current research in video art
  conservation through the project 40yearsvideoart: Digital
  Heritage as it relates to the work of Nam June Paik.

  Ulrich Lang, Chief Conservator at the Museum of Modern Art in
  Frankfurt, Germany and Jochen Saueracker, Nam June Paik’s
  assistant of twenty years, will discuss their case study of
  Paik’s One Candle from the Inside Installations project.

  The panel will be moderated by Gwynne Ryan, Objects Conservator at
  the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, with Barbara London, Associate
  Curator of MoMA’s Media department, and Glenn Wharton, Research
  Scholar at the New York University Conservation Center of the
  Institute of Fine Arts, acting as discussants.
