This book reflects on Paik’s working method as well   as the ideas and materials that inspired his art practice. It was published   on the occasion of a two-part exhibition at Gagosian, New York, curated by   John G. Hanhardt, one of the foremost scholars of Paik’s work. \u003ci\u003eNam June   Paik: Art in Proces\u003c\/i\u003es highlights the centrality of process and exploration   across Paik’s career—through his pioneering manipulated televisions from the   early 1960s to live global satellite telecasts, large-scale video sculptures,   drawings, and the late-style painted TVs—and provides an opportunity to   follow Paik’s lifelong engagement with new media and the development of his   own singular visual language. Highlights include Paik’s painted sections of   the Berlin Wall (2005); \u003ci\u003eBeuys Projection\u003c\/i\u003e (1990), Paik’s   powerful video interpretation of his performance with Joseph Beuys in Tokyo;   and his celebrated \u003ci\u003eOne Candle, Candle Projection\u003c\/i\u003e (1988–2000),   a live video installation of candlelight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith essays by John G.
