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 Lecture Hall
Entrance: 4 West 54th St. between 5th & 6th Aves.
New York NY
February 16, 2007 12:30-2pm
The International Network for the Conservation of Contemporary Art - North America (INCCA-NA)
joins with the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the American Institute of Conservation (AIC), and
the Getty Conservation Institute to present a panel discussion on the reinstallation of Paik's time-
based media work.
The panel features presentations by Rudolf Frieling, Curator of Media Arts at the San Francisco
Museum of Modern Art; Ulrich Lang, Chief Conservator at the Museum of Modern Art in Frankfurt,
and Jochen Saueracker, Nam June Paik's assistant of twenty years.
The discussion focuses on the artist’s role in the long-term survival of media installations and
options available in the absence of the artist's voice. Two primary topics are the loss of visual
components as technologies become obsolete and the loss of conceptual intent when there is no
roadmap to guide future curators.
This is a free lunch-time session as part of the College Art Association (CAA) 2007 annual
conference, and will take place at:
Moderator: Gwynne Ryan, Objects Conservator at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
Additional Discussants: Barbara London, Associate Curator of MoMA's Media department, and
Glenn Wharton, Research Scholar at New York University and Special Projects Conservator at
MoMA.
