Turning Ordinary Actions into Art with Bruce Nauman | Art21

Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Bruce Nauman, from the "Identity” episode in Season 1 of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series. "Identity" premiered in September 2001 on PBS. Bruce Nauman transforms everyday activities, speech, and objects into works that are both familiar and alien. Filmed at Nauman’s ranch and studio outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico, the segment features several of Nauman’s recent explorations into video, text, and self-portraiture—materials and themes the artist has engaged for over thirty years. Bruce Nauman was born in 1941 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and currently lives and works near Galisteo, New Mexico.
