Bruce Nauman and the Dancer |
During the Nauman-exhibition at Deutsche Guggenheim, Noreen Guzman de Rojas performs Bruce Nauman's dance piece "Untitled" from 1969. The dancer turns around her own axis during the ten one-hour performances: the first day five times, the last day only once. In an interview with Susan Cross, Noreen Guzman de Rojas speaks about her experiences during the performance. |

Pioneers of Video Art |
When the portable video camera came onto the market in 1967, artists such as Nam June
Paik, Richard Serra, Vito Acconci and Bruce Nauman immediately recognized the possibilities of the new medium that would enable them to create new pictures. Uwe M. Schneede describes the beginnings of video art and reminisces about his first meeting with Bruce Nauman. |

Bruce Nauman: a Portrait |
For decades Bruce Nauman has brought on praise and ridicule, admiration and contempt.
Not only his aggressive works but also his meditative ones are provocative. And in his private life, he retreats to his ranch in Galisteo Basin, to his horses and cats. The German Guggenheim is presenting his first one-man show in Berlin. A portrait by Christine Hoffmann. |

Theater of Cruelty |
He makes the spectators into performers, whether they want to be or not. But "Bruce Nauman is not about Bruce Nauman. It's about us!" claims Susan Cross, curator of the exhibition "Bruce Nauman: Theatres of Experience" in Berlin. She talks in an interview with Arno Widmann about the artist who is not satisfied with being the sole performer but with transforming the spectator. |
