À l'occasion de l'inauguration de la Bourse de Commerce, les Éditions Dilecta s'associent à la Pinault Collection pour la saison d'ouverture de ce nouvel espace majeur dédié à l'art contemporain en plein coeur de Paris, avec la publication de ce catalogue de la première exposition collective.
New spatial and architectural works from the influential American multimedia pioneer.
Published in conjunction with the exhibition at Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan, this monograph presents the most up-to-date compilation of the spatial and architectural works of New Mexico-based artist Bruce Nauman (born 1941). Through his neons, corridors and room installations, Nauman accentuates the contrast between the perceptual and physical experience of space. Perception itself can be interpreted as the subject matter of his work; the aesthetic experience of entering a narrow corridor or an empty room flooded with neon light supersedes the art "objects" in the viewer's experience.
The volume includes newly commissioned essays on Nauman's conceptual developments and formal variations by scholars, conservators and curators such as Joan Simon, Francesca Esmay and Gloria Sutton, and a text by the exhibition curators. Alongside rich photographic documentation of the show, the publication also features entries for the 30 works on display written by researchers from international institutions.
