Bruce Nauman
Bruce Nauman
is one of the most influential artists working in the world today. The
quintessential multi-media artist, Nauman has been a pioneer of
performance and body art, conceptual photography, the use of language
and sound as mediums, as well as video and site-specific installations.
The Museum has recently acquired a new room-sized installation by the
artist,
Studio Mix, 2010. The work is inspired by a set of
piano exercises that the composer Béla Bartók (1881–1945) wrote as a
means of teaching children the piano. Nauman’s piece consists of video,
Nauman’s voice, and the artist Terry Allen practicing the Bartók
exercises to Nauman’s instructions. The artist will talk about the
development of his art from its early beginnings to the present with the
Museum’s Chief Curator, Michael Auping.
This popular series of lectures and presentations by artists,
scholars, and critics is free and open to the public. To assure seating,
free admission tickets are available at the Modern’s admission desk
beginning at 5 pm on the day of the lecture. Seating begins at 6:30 pm

Modern for any additional guests. Lectures begin at 7 pm. The Museum
galleries and the café remain open until 7 pm on Tuesday evenings during
the series.
