𝘙𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘋𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 is a three-part project by artists Lynn Lu and Melinda Lauw referencing the shared artistic history of long-time collaborators Nam June Paik and Charlotte Moorman. This project was commissioned by Vanini Belarmino for the National Gallery Singapore to coincide with the 𝘕𝘢𝘮 𝘑𝘶𝘯𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘪𝘬: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘕𝘰𝘸 exhibition.
𝘙𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘋𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩: The Final Movement was filmed separately in London and Singapore. Lynn and Melinda subjected a variety of everyday objects to “creative misuse” in the deadpan delivery style of Nam June Paik and Charlotte Moorman. The resulting footage—alongside documentation of participants responding to their prompts in the second part of this project—was combined to draw out gestural synchronicities and serendipitous occurrences that connect the two artists and the participants, as well as Paik and Moorman's exploits across the vast expanse of time and space.
