Bruce Nauman - Raw Materials chronicles Nauman's encounter with the cavernous space of Tate Modern's Turbine Hall, transformed through the medium of sound. At the same time, it provides an insight into the sources of some of Nauman's best-known works and an overview of a career that has established his status as one of contemporary art's greatest innovators.
Extensively illustrated and incorporating the full texts from the installation, two major essays by Emma Dexter, Senior Curator at Tate Modern, and Michael Auping, Chief Curator, Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, along with catalogue entries by Ben Borthwick, Assistant Curator at Tate Modern, this is an important contribution to the appreciation of a unique artistic vision.
