Charlotte Moorman and Nam June Paik "The Originale"

thank u a lot for this video! it's hard to find this kind of video in this quality! excellent work! ;)

bravo

Dear Fred, thank you for sharing this excellent quality video both in picture and in comment. Charlotte seems such a funny character. She was at / initiated some key art performances with such amazing people. Lively, the world of and around her continuously stretched to new limits. While she innocently tells that it happened almost without her. Masterfully enjoyable. A great artist to remember.

Moorman would (would have) understood the concept of plastering the walls of holy places with thousands of handprints (the ink used must be Speedball black water soluble) of people from all walks and stations of life. A chirographic blueprint of souls in manifestation. Imagine Charlotte materializing before a stupefied crowd, wearing a WWII gas mask, poised to play disparate notes on a cello. So futuristic a being for the art scene of the 20th centur and straight out of Arkansas too!

Nam June Paik would be posting - big time. He would coordinate a thousand posters on a thousand screens in Grand Central Station and each part would be part of his performance... HIS performance. It could be a permanent mural there!

thanks for posting this. you're putting youtube to good use. I wonder what Nam June Paik would have thought of youtube.

it's just an interview.
