How do works of art endure over time in the face of aging materials and changing interpretations of their meaning? How do decay, technological obsolescence, and the blending of old and new media affect what an artwork is and can become? And how can changeable artworks encourage us to rethink our assumptions of a work of art as fixed and static?
Opening September 18 in Bard Graduate Center's Focus Gallery, Revisions—Zen for Film explores these questions through Zen for Film (1962–64), one of the most evocative artworks created by the Korean-American artist Nam June Paik (1932–2006).
Revisions—Zen for Film was curated by Hanna Hölling, Andrew W. Mellon Visiting Professor, Cultures of Conservation, Bard Graduate Center. Developed during a two-year Andrew W. Mellon 'Cultures of Conservation' Fellowship at Bard Graduate Center, it is accompanied by a digital interactive with contributions by BGC master's students and a publication of the same name published by the University of Chicago Press.
