D'Arcy thinking about Nam June Paik (1932-2006)

2006-05-14T05:22:00.000-07:00

"In 1966 charlotte moorman and I went to the venice biennale uninvited
and staged a commando-style happening. the leaflet saying just GONDOLA
HAPPENING"
"there were many hundreds of the audience waiting for our gondola, which was delayed as always by one hour. finally we appeared and everybody cheered. charlotte played first john cage piece. a movie was projected across the canal to the century old wall. luckily we could rent the only 16mm projector (for the rental) existing in the whole city of venice...and it did not break down. In the next piece (my saint saens variation), miss moorman bravely jumped into the canal and came out to
play the piece as instructed drench wet with the 10 centuries polluted water. after the show, she had to go to the doctor for the typhus shot. and after the show we had only 5 dollars left. we were thrown out of a free pension, becauser charlotte played the cello around 2 a.m. ... luckily we had had the fist class eurail pass and could stay overnight at
the first class waiting room at the station. in this whole tragi-comedy after 27 years I could find only one witness, who saw the performance and could testify that indeed it happened ... his name is wim bareen."
(Nam June Paik)
