SEOUL.- Nam June Paik Art Center (Director: Jinsuk Suh) in association with Chronus Art Center in Shanghai, China (CAC) and Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, Germany (ZKM) host the international collaborative exhibition the Three Rooms project Edge of Now. The exhibition being held from July 12 to September 16 provides an opportunity to verify different perspectives and attitudes of the artists exploring technological media-based art.

The Three Rooms project, co-organized by Nam June Paik Art Center, CAC and ZKM in the form of competition, is aimed to discover and support new media artists in Korea, China and Germany. This year, 15 members of the recommendation committee recommended 30 new artists and Kim Heecheon, Yang Jian and Verena Friedrich, who have presented new sensibilities and views in this era of changing technologies and media, are finally selected through screening processes. This project to provide the selected artists with the opportunity to showcase their works internationally in exhibitions on tour at CAC and ZKM is differentiated from other competitions with regional limitations. The participating artists present their own senses and views of the reality changed by technological media by offering a contemporary perspective on the classical representation, the awareness of the media that have become part of our daily life and our perception at the boundary between online and offline respectively. Organizers hope the exhibition Edge of Now will inspire the public to think about where we are now and envision the future at the "edge of now," just at the moment to move into the future.

Opened to the public in 2008, the Nam June Paik Art Center aspires to revive the generosity, criticality and interdisciplinary nature characteristic of both Nam June Paik’s work and life. To fulfill the artist’s wish building "the house where the spirit of Nam June Paik lives on," Nam June Paik Art Center develops creative and critical programs on the artist.
