I wonder if Nauman was doing this solely to rebel against the standard sculpture of permanence that defies time or if he was just fascinated with time as an area of exploration. A lot of the works in the gallery left me wondering how much the standard explanation given by the tour guide really represented Nauman's own motivations for his art. To me some of the pieces seemed to be mocking or even criticizing the very analysis that was being applied to them.Sean Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10993042324927605214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38644188.post-29213525458021664532007-03-05T08:14:00.000-08:002007-03-05T08:14:00.000-08:00It's strange that he chose to interpret sculpture ...It's strange that he chose to interpret sculpture as more of a performance piece (using his own body in the process) but also chose to film the performance. Doing so turns the three-dimensional sculpture into a two-dimensional projection - I wonder if it can still be called sculpture then? I did also like the way he set up the latex piece to disintegrate over time, though - it's interesting to see exhibits that don't try to preserve their specimens perfectly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01773431570017088876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38644188.post-9658288291287552632007-03-05T00:33:00.000-08:002007-03-05T00:33:00.000-08:00I agree that Nauman clearly integrates the use of ...I agree that Nauman clearly integrates the use of time into art, especially in a time where art changed from its classical three dimensional or two dimensional frame of work. Although I, too, am <B> not </B> a huge fan of his unusual and excessively modern art, his principles of using the entire frame of the area and time is intriguing. Beyond looking at the videos he created, such as manipulations of the t-bar, his fiberglass creations that integrated the wall, however odd and seemingly inartistic, shows how time and the viewer is integrated into his ideal of a masterpiece.Nehal Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13143188499672918968noreply@blogger.com
