- Description
- 1 videocassette (30 min.) : sd., col.; 1/2 in.
- Summary
- Paik's tape is a tribute to the late Julian Beck, founder of the avant-garde Living Theatre, his widow and collaborator Judith Malina, their family and life in the theater. "Using a dazzling array of video-processing techniques, Paik becomes a magical trickster who plays with the images to vividly recreate the anarchic life and idealism of The Living Theater. In his mix of theater and family, words and images, Paik links this theater with the ideas of the nineteenth-century anarchist Mikhail Bakunin about the utopianism of art. As Paik perceives it, The Living Theater remains a vital exemplar of the hope for social change that art can express."
