Bruce Nauman

Dia Art Foundation, New York

JUDITH BARRY LECTURES ON BRUCE NAUMAN
Artists on Artists Lecture series

WHAT
Judith Barry lectures on the work of Bruce Nauman in association with "Mapping the Studio I (Fat Chance John Cage)," a new large-scale video installation by Nauman currently on view at Dia Center for the Arts. The installation, on view in Nauman's first major museum exhibition in New York City since 1994, is a record of the nocturnal activities in the artist's studio of his cat after an invasion of mice during the summer of 2000. Nauman, in his words, "used this traffic as a way of mapping the leftover parts and work areas of the last several years of other completed, unfinished, or discarded projects." Mapping the Studio I (Fat Chance John Cage) is on view through July 27, 2002.
