Make Me Think. Bruce Nauman - ACE368.4

Double Steel Cage (1974), "at the same time a space and a sculpture." Planning sketch. People in the Cage. Etching I Learned Helplessness from Rats, and video installation Rats and Bats (Learned Helplessness in Rats) (both 1988). A white room with blank projection: "nothing to look at but plenty to see". Joan Simon, Art Critic, says Nauman wants people to imagine things in different scales. Untitled (Model for Trench Shaft and Tunnel) (1978), and sketch for same work. Steel sculpture. Neon sculpture, Life, Death, Love, Hate, Pleasure, Pain (1983). Store on how Nauman uses language. Another neon sculpture, Violins, Violence, Silence (1981-1982). Run from Fear (1972). The "litany" of One Hundred Live and Die (1984). Extract from video Black Balls (1969), lithographs Vision and Clear Vision (1973), more from Black Balls, neon My Name As Though It Were Written on the Surface of the Moon (1968). Children take it in turn to go in and out of Live-Taped Video Corridor (1970). Camera does the same. "Both the watcher and the watched are part of this film. Nauman would call it his ‘raw material’" says commentary.
