Bodies in Space is the inaugural art exhibition of MAG’s Media Arts Initiative. The exhibition is organized by John Hanhardt, MAG’s new Consulting Senior Curator of Media Arts, and features work by Nam June Paik and Bruce Nauman, key artists from the early years of video art, alongside more recent work by Sondra Perry and Takeshi Murata, artists on the cutting edge of a new generation transforming the digital media arts.
Bodies in Space is a curated collection of media art, previously never seen together as one installation.
