Provincial officials from Gyeonggi-do began to talk with Nam June Paik from 2001, and upon MOU made in 2002, undertook a project to set up a museum for him there. This painting is a kind of symbolic signboard made by Paik himself for the museum, in which he wrote two words “Nam June Paik” and “Museum” in Korean, English and Chinese in red, blue and green. Although Paik did not see the completion of the would-be Nam June Paik Art Center in his lifetime, he christened it “a house where Nam June Paik lives on” as a way of suggesting the museum’s mission.
