| | Bruce Nauman Essay |
 | | It was in the late 1960s, when he was a recent graduate, that Nauman began his exploration of the practice of artmaking and of the role of the artist. | | | Typically low-key and low-budget in their form and their fabrication, these deceptively heterogeneous sculptures imply that the struggle to conceive a work of art is more likely to involve hours of tedious repetitive activity, or bleak periods of seemingly fruitless inactivity, than macho manipulations of recalcitrant material, virtuoso displays of craftsmanship, or transcendent insights. | | | But, irrespective of whether externally imposed or, more frequently these days, self-determined, Nauman's discipline of limited means produces works that are disarmingly nonchalant, unassumingly rough-edged, even blackly humorous as they relentlessly pillory received notions of inspiration and creativity, of the role and image of the artist, and of artistic practice. |

| | Nauman also emphasizes his attraction to the theatricality of art, that the viewing of art should be a total, sensory experience. | | | Nauman is in fact notorious for his lack of a signature style. | | | Overall, it seems as though a large theme of this symposium is to explore Nauman's influence on today's generation of contemporary artists. |

| | Bruce Nauman - the artist |
| | Nauman's video, performance art and sculpture have had a profound impact on a younger generation of artists internationally. | | | He has described his work as `Art which was just there all at once', or which confronted the viewer in a direct and uncompromising way 'like getting hit in the back of the neck'. | | | He studied mathematics, physics, art and music at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and gained an MA in art at the University of California, Davis. |

| | Bruce Nauman explores the relationship between language and identity and creativity and parody in works whose titles pun and comment upon what is depicted. | | | He seems to be commenting on the notion that whatever an artist calls art is art, and in this case he says that a photograph of himself spitting water out of his mouth is a work of art and that he is a fountain. | | | Of this approach Nauman has said, "My conclusion was that [if] I was an artist and I was in the studio, then whatever I was doing in the studio must be art." This photograph also includes an element of performance. |

| | Bruce Nauman |
| | Bruce Nauman is one of the most important artists of our time. | | | Early in his career, Nauman was inspired by composer John Cage, who argued that chance occurrences and ambient sound can hold equal status with intentional composition. | | | This was influential in defining the project, as Nauman explains: 'The first time I visited the Turbine Hall there was a group of Henry Moore sculptures on view. |

| | Art:21 . Bruce Nauman's "The True Artist Helps the World..." PBS |
| | At a time when the young artist was questioning what it means to be an artist (a maker of non-utilitarian objects) and during a historical period fraught with political unrest and injustice (the late 1960s), Nauman's sign is an investigation into the meaning of his own activity. | | | One of Nauman's first pieces, the neon sign "The True Artist Helps the World by Revealing Mystic Truths" was initially displayed in the artist's grocery storefront studio. | | | Wanting to make art that didn't look like art, Nauman's neon sign was just another advertisement on the street, making a subtle impact on the consciousness of those who simply passed by. |

| | Exhibiton 31; Bruce Nauman; OK OK OK |
| | The basis of Nauman's artistic approach and the resulting actions is his own existence as an artist involved in an incessant process of self-experience. | | | With this, Nauman not only refers to his performance films of the sixties, Ok Ok Ok must also be seen in the immediate context of his wax-head installations which he has created in the past two years and also used as elements in his video installations. | | | At first, the point of departure for this self-experience as a result of artistic action was for Nauman his own body and its activities. |

| | Bruce Nauman: Mapping the studio |
| | This exhibition brings together two distinct but related bodies of video work by Bruce Nauman that investigate the role of the artist and the possibilities of artistic creation within the confines of the studio environment. | | | In the first group of seven works, created between 1968 and 1973, the figure of Nauman is central, and the artist's body becomes the primary tool, manipulated as if it is a sculptural material. | | | This work, filmed in Nauman's studio in Galisteo, New Mexico, registers the downtime of the creative process – the times in which the muse refuses to appear, and in which very little happens. |

| | Nauman’s fascination with language is central to his artistic output and this is an area which he will continue to explore in this commission. | | | Influenced during his earlier career by the writer Samuel Beckett and the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, Nauman has continued to explore the possibilities of language in works ranging from purely acoustic explorations of the rhythms of speech to visually powerful neon text pieces. | | | Nauman believes strongly that art has a social function. |

| | Catherine Czacki is a regular contributor to the ATA webzine and she likes art. | | | I just assumed that such a figure in art would want to be in a city teeming with art and other artists. | | | My mother still has a hard time pronouncing the term “new genres” (which is what I got my degree in.) She attributes it to “never having an ear for foreign languages.” And my father seems perplexed every time I drag him through the SFMOMA or Yerba Buena Center for the Arts when he visits. |

| | For nearly forty years, Nauman has staked out new artistic territory with his exploration of video, performance art, neon, holograms and the installation format. | | | "Nauman, beyond much dispute, is the most influential American artist of his generation," wrote Time magazine's art critic Robert Hughes in 1995. | | | He then went to study with William T. Wiley and Robert Arneson at the University of California at Davis, and shortly thereafter gave up painting and sculpture for the more experimental art media, which earned him international acclaim. |

| | Nauman, who has worked in a variety of art forms, including body art and performance art, has often used the clown to parody the artist& own insecurities. | | | An intensely private individual, Nauman has long been wary of how art-world success and critical recognition can reduce the artist& role to that of a "court jester." Even during his most private moments, Nauman suggests that the surveillance of a curious market continues. | | | Bruce Nauman’s video installation Clown Torture consists of two pedestals, each supporting a pair of stacked color monitors; two large, color-video projections on facing walls; and sound. |
