He pioneered the use of TV and video in art and coined the phrase ‘electronic superhighway’ to predict the future of communication in the internet age.This major exhibition will be a mesmerising riot of sights and sounds. It brings together over 200 works from throughout his five-decade career – from robots made from old TV screens, to his innovative video works and all-encompassing room-sized installations such as the dazzling Sistine Chapel 1993.Born in South Korea in 1932, but living and working in Japan, Germany and the USA, Paik (1932-2006) developed a collaborative artistic practice that crossed borders and disciplines. The exhibition looks at his close collaboration with cellist Charlotte Moorman. It will also highlight partnerships with other avant-garde artists, musicians, choreographers and poets, including John Cage, Merce Cunningham and Joseph Beuys.Organised by Tate Modern and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.Nam June Paik is presented in The Eyal Ofer Galleries.Tate ModernBanksideLondon SE1 9TG&#160;[caption id="attachment_6195" align="aligncenter" width="720"] Nam June Paik sitting on TV Chair.
