Exhibitions
Paik's first exhibition, entitled "Exposition of Music - Electronic Television", was held in 1963 at Galerie Parnass in Wuppertal, Germany. A retrospective of Paik's work was held at the Whitney Museum of American Art in the spring of 1982. Major retrospectives of Paik's work have been organized by Kölnischer Kunstverein (1976), Musée d'art moderne de la Ville de Paris (1978), Whitney Museum of American Art in New York (1982), San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (1989), Kunsthalle Basel (1991) and National Museum of Contemporary Art in Seoul (1992). A final retrospective of his work was held in 2000 at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, with the commissioned site-specific installation Modulation in Sync (2000)[22] integrating the unique space of the museum into the exhibition itself.[23] This coincided with a downtown gallery showing of video artworks by his wife Shigeko Kubota, mainly dealing with his recovery from a stroke he had in 1996.
In 2011, an exhibition centered on Paik's video sculpture One Candle, Candle Projection (1988-2000) opened at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.[24] Another retrospective was mounted at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., in 2012-2013.[25][26] As a leading expert in Paik’s work, art historian John G. Hanhardt was the curator for three landmark exhibitions devoted to the artist, the ones at the Whitney Museum, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.[27]
Paik's work also appeared in important group exhibitions such as São Paulo Biennale (1975), Whitney Biennial (1977, 1981, 1983, 1987, and 1989), Documenta 6 and 8 (1977 and 1987), and Venice Biennale (1984 and 1993).[4]
From April 24, 2015 to September 7, 2015 Paik's works T.V. Clock, 9/23/69: Experiment with David Atwood, and ETUDE1 were displayed at "Watch This! Revelations in Media Art" a

this video is about nam and his work that was bring displayed in 2 rooms in the tate to celebrate his work.
this video uses a variety of shots.
Close up
Behind
Wide
Blurred
Head and shoulders
this mix of shots I thinks makes a really well put together video because it keeps your attention through out the video and this helps change the focal point for each scene.
i really like the way in which nam uses different installation techniques to display his work for example the TVs that are distorted in picture and sound I find amazing and I think these are extremely eye catching.
i especially like the way the tvs are layer out especially the baseline robot this I think is a great invention and a really eye catching piece of video and media art.

Nam June is known as" the father of visual art "
One of his best known creations was the the electronic super high way, which was an expression of how media gives us the under standing of the world , And also TV garden which is a mix of televisions and plants.
He was also said to have a gift for seeing the future because of his early use for what is now seen as the internet.

This video on bbc I think shows clearly the great ways in which nam used an extremal unique form of insulation for his era to show the world his art. I love how much time and detail has gone into the making of these because he didn't just place TVs and light together to create art but he also worked along side engineers to create these pieces and then used method of science to distort the sound and images to make art . This I feel makes him an amazing artist.
