Nam June Paik, Rabbit Inhabits the Moon, 1996
Nam June Paik Art Center and the MAO Museo d’Arte Orientale presents Rabbit Inhabits the Moon: The Art of Nam June Paik in the Mirror of Time at the MAO, Turin, Italy from October 19, 2024 to March 23, 2025.
Celebrating the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and Italy, this exhibition aims to stimulate dynamic dialogue reflecting the development of the cultural and artistic landscape of the two countries, particularly reinterpreting the legacy of Nam June Paik and his influence on contemporary artists.
The exhibition Rabbit Inhabits the Moon revolves around the figure of Nam June Paik, one of the most important artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and a pioneer of video art. Trained as a pianist and musicologist, Paik explored technological progress in his works, using a mixed language that combined mass media and the customs of western capitalistic and commercial society with the rituals of the Korean poetry and music and the country’s cultural and shamanic traditions.
