Korean-born, American artist Nam June Paik (1932–2006) blazed a trail with video art that remains influential to this day. Paik’s "TV Clock," one of SBMA’s most important media art works, is on view for the first time in nearly a decade. "TV Clock" consists of 24 color televisions mounted upright on pedestals that are arranged in a gentle arc and displayed in a darkened space. Paik created each electronic image by manipulating the television to compress its red, green, and blue color into a single line against a black background. Called a "fixed-image television" by Paik, each TV does not involve a videotape, disc, or computer chip but an image the artist created by ingenious manipulation of electronic elements. Read in sequence, each static line tumbles into the next to form a dynamic yet elegantly spare rhythm that resembles a universally recognized way to measure time. A crucial work in Paik’s long career, "TV Clock" offers audiences the chance to experience the art and thought of one of the 20th century’s most innovative and enduringly vital artists.

In celebration of the roles of women in film comedy, the Carsey-Wolf Center is proud to present a pair of classic short films from the silent period—"Won in a Cupboard" (1914) and "The Oyster Princess" (1919)—with live piano accompaniment by Michael Mortilla.

"Won in a Cupboard" is the earliest extant film directed by Mabel Normand, the great silent film comedian, producer, and writer-director. Centering on a pair of young lovers, their parents, and a case of mistaken identity, the film showcases Normand’s gift for physical comedy and her interest in cinematic innovation.

In Lubitsch’s The Oyster Princess (Die Austernprinzessin), a spoiled American heiress (Ossi Oswalda) seeks the hand of impoverished German prince (Harry Liedtke). The cautious prince sends his friend Josef (Julius Falkenstein) to check out Ossi before he commits, but complications ensue when Josef takes a liking to her….
