Artists Heecheon Kim and Okkyung Lee will give a talk in conjunction with the exhibition Field Memeory. Celebrating Nam June Paik’s 90th anniversary, Nam June Paik Art Center commissioned a sound work Field Memory, which portrays a person who remembers only what (s)he hears with ears, not what (s)he sees with eyes. Artists Talk will be moderated by Kim Seong Eun, Director of Nam June Paik Art Center.
