No artist has had a greater influence in imagining and realizing the artistic potential of video and television than Korean-born Nam June Paik. Through a vast array of installations, videotapes, global television productions, films, and performances, Paik has reshaped our perceptions of the temporal image in contemporary art.

The Worlds of Nam June Paik transforms the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao into a celebration of the moving image and an appreciation of Paik's impact on the art of the late-twentieth century.

The Worlds of Nam June Paik reflects the scope of Paik's remarkable career-from his transformation of broadcast television and video to his reconfiguration of laser into a new form of sculptural and installation art. Further still, Gehry's treatment of space allows for an unprecedented display of a body of work that embraces the virtues of change and recognizes art's powerful role in helping us understand the world as it evolves around us. Paik's unique achievements, the precedents set by his creative accomplishments, and the wide range of his work attest to the key role he has played in expanding the definition of art through media. This exhibition not only acknowledges his importance, but also testifies to the extraordinary impact the moving image will continue to have on the art of the 21st century.
