{"title":"Bruce Nauman","description":"\u003cp\u003eExhibition catalogues, monographs, and printed matter relating to Bruce Nauman (b. 1941) — one of the most consequential American artists of the postwar period, whose practice has moved across sculpture, video, neon, performance, installation, and language since the mid-1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNauman’s work is not primarily about objects. It is about the conditions under which experience becomes unstable: the body in constrained space, language turned against itself, the studio as a site of repetition and failure, the viewer implicated in a system they did not choose to enter. His corridor works, neon signs, video loops, and acoustic installations do not illustrate these conditions — they produce them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublications gathered here include monographs, exhibition catalogues, and institutional studies that have shaped the critical and historical reception of his work — from early Castelli-era documentation through to major retrospective publications. Each object carries Nauman’s practice into another form: image, essay, reproduction, index, and the handled weight of the book itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bruce-nauman-spatial-encounters-university-of-california-press-2019","title":"BRUCE NAUMAN — Spatial Encounters, University of California Press, 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eMonograph, \u003cem\u003eBruce Nauman: Spatial Encounters\u003c\/em\u003e.

The study considers works beginning in 1969 and moving through the 1970s and beyond, focusing on the physical, perceptual, and psychological pressure they place on the participant. Published alongside the major retrospective \u003cem\u003eBruce Nauman: Disappearing Acts\u003c\/em\u003e, shown at Schaulager, Basel, and then at MoMA \/ MoMA PS1, New York — described by MoMA as the most comprehensive presentation of Nauman’s work assembled to that point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNauman’s corridor works turn architecture into a behavioural instrument. Walls, mirrors, light, and constrained movement become forms of sculpture, producing not only visual experience but hesitation, unease, and self-conscious bodily awareness. This book fixes that unstable encounter into a handled format: installation translated into image, diagram, essay, bibliography, and index.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe distinction of this copy is its retained distributor state.
