Tess Taylor reached out to me last spring to offer comments for a podcast she had been developing for the Getty Museum–the series was dedicated to exploring letters between artists. Tess, an incredible poet and builder of creative communities, reached out because she was seeking a writer’s perspective on the language of the letter, and thought I might have some personal resonances with him given my own Korean diaspora identity and because I, too, make video art. She wasn’t wrong!
Please check out the podcast here, and give the whole series a lesson. Tess’s research and care thoughtfully illuminates Nam June Paik in his historical context while pointing also to his beautiful singularity.
