body on Nostr: Two years after suffering a stroke, Nam June Paik was invited to attend a state ...
Two years after suffering a stroke, Nam June Paik was invited to attend a state dinner at the Clinton White House in June 1998. A trickster and prominent purveyor of the avant-garde, Paik incorporated humor and spontaneity in performances and artworks that joined multiple artistic forms.
Due to the stroke two years prior, Paik was often confined to a wheelchair in public. However, when it came time to greet the president, Paik got up to use his walker as he proceeded through the line.
Scandal is no stranger to politics, and it was an especially frequent visitor to the Clinton house. At the time, the media coverage of the "Monica Lewinsky scandal" was at peak fervor. What happened next was a wonderful union of media, art and politics thanks to Mr. Paik.
