German art historian Wulf Herzogenrath will deliver a lecture in honor of late artist Paik Nam June in Seoul on Wednesday.

The lecture will be in remembrance of Herzogenrath’s fondest memories with the Korean American artist who passed away in 2006 at the Nam June Paik Center with support from the Goethe-Insitut.

“When the future was now,” will be held in honor of Paik’s 80th birthday.

The Goethe-Institut also continued its summer film festival with a screening of the German film “Hande weg von Mississippi,” in Seoul on Friday.

The film is an adaptation of a novel under the same name by children’s fiction German author Cornelia Funke.

The screening was the latest in a festival of German films for the summer.
