Nam June Paik Art Center is pleased to present the first solo exhibition in Korea by the Winner of the Nam June Paik Art Center Prize 2014, Haroon Mirza. The exhibition, titled Circuits & Sequences will feature new and recent works by Mirza and will run from 29 October 2015 till 7 February 2016.
Based in London, UK, Mirza has captured the world’s attention with his installations that test the interplay and friction between sound, light waves and electric current. He creates performances, site-specific installations and kinetic sculptures comprised of a variety of ready-made objects and time-based materials.
In his solo exhibition, Circuits & Sequences, to be held for the first time in Korea, Mirza brings to our attention the electronic circuits that generate electromagnetic waves and the programmes of sequences that turn circuits on and off. These circuits proliferate in countless repetitions out of sight just like rhizomes, delivering electronic sound layered with various lights to the audience while electronically resonating through the space through audio-visual convergence.

8분 35초<메라 남 하이>는 파키스탄어로 “나의 이름은”이란 뜻이다. 영상에 등장하는 배우는 서툰 영어로 계속 “내 이름은 하룬 미르자”라고 말하며 자신이 자라난 배경과 어떻게 작가가 되었는지 그리고 어떤 작업을 했는지 설명하려고 애쓴다. 그러나 이 모든 고백은 무언가 분명하지 않으며 진실되지도 않으며 계속적으로 분절되며 미끄러진다. 관객들은 이 혼란스러운 상황 속에 빠져들며 예술가와 스스로 작업을 설명해야 하는 예술계에 대해 비판적으로 반추하게 된다.
